What Is Cocaine?
Cocaine is a drug that makes you feel awake and happy. People use it to feel good, but it can be dangerous. It’s made from plants found in South America.
When you take cocaine, it makes you feel more confident and friendly. But using it a lot can make you need more to feel the same effects, and you can become addicted.
You can use cocaine in different ways, like by sniffing it through your nose, injecting it with a needle, or smoking it. There are different kinds of cocaine, like pure cocaine or crack cocaine.
What Does Cocaine Look Like?
Pure cocaine looks like white powder, similar to baby powder or flour. Sometimes it comes in a solid form that looks like rocks, ranging from white to off-white with a shiny appearance.
But there’s also impure cocaine, which can be off-white, yellow, green, pink, or other colors. Dealers mix it with cheap stuff like talcum powder to make more money. Sometimes they make it too white by adding baby powder.
In movies, you might see drug dealers tasting the stuff to check if it’s real because it’s hard to tell just by looking. They often sell cocaine in small plastic bags, sometimes mixed with heroin, called speedballs, which people either sniff or inject.
What Does Cocaine Smell Like?
Pure cocaine that’s very white doesn’t have a smell. But, some say it might smell sweet and flowery, like raw coca leaves.
The cocaine you find on the streets usually isn’t pure. It’s mixed with different things that can make it smell like chemicals. It might smell like baking soda, gasoline, or other strong chemicals.
People often mix cocaine with dangerous things. That’s why it might smell like bleach or have a sharp, acidic smell.
If someone smokes crack, it might smell like burnt plastic or rubber. The smell of cocaine depends on the chemicals used to make it. Some of these chemicals are diesel, baking soda, gasoline, and others.
Liquid cocaine might have a slight metallic or chemical smell.
Can Drug Paraphernalia Affect Smell?
The things people use to do drugs usually don’t change the smell of cocaine much. But if someone smokes crack or freebase cocaine, the tools they use might start to smell burnt. This can happen if the materials are cheap or if they’re not cleaned.
Stuff used for cocaine includes rolled-up bills or papers for snorting, mirrors for lining up cocaine, cards or razor blades for cutting it, and plastic bags for storing it. For smoking crack, people use spoons, lighters, and tin foil.
