The effects of using both cocaine and crack cocaine are that of euphoria, stimulating/energizing, suppression of fatigue, confidence, enhancement of sensory experiences (such as music, art or sexual encounters), increased sociability and suppression of appetite. Cocaine and heroin, mixed and dissolved for injection, is called a “speedball” (CAMH, 2010). The taste of the drug is felt through smoking, which causes both a warm and numbing sensation in the mouth and lungs.Ĭocaine is often used with other drugs, especially alcohol and cannabis. These forms, known as “freebase” and “crack,” look like crystals or small white/yellowish rocks. The base form of cocaine can be chemically processed to produce forms of cocaine that can be smoked. It has a bitter and numbing taste, which is specifically felt after snorting the drug, producing a very bitter flavour in the back of the user’s throat, known as “the drips”. If it is a purer form/hasn’t been cut with a lot of adulterants, it will have a slight shine to it, similar to that of fish scales. It is sometimes “cut,” or mixed, with things that look like it, such as cornstarch or talcum powder, or with other drugs, such as local anesthetics or amphetamines. Cocaine hydrochloride-the form in which cocaine is snorted or injected-is a white crystalline powder that looks similar to household products you would use in your kitchen, such as baking soda or flour.
