Due to its addictive nature and side effects for the person who takes it, Cocaine is one of the most illegal drugs in the world.

Different ways of ingesting cocaine
One of the most popular ways to use cocaine is by ingesting it through the nose. However, it is not the only way to take the drug. People melt the powder down to liquid and put it straight into their veins, or you can smoke it in the form of a crack. When you use it, you’ll experience different side effects. Most users will have a heightened heart rate and will feel happy or euphoric. People under the influence of cocaine also often have the urge to have sex. However, the drug is extremely addictive and can have severe side effects, such as a heart attack.
However, back in the 1970s, people went crazy for cocaine, and all the famous and rich people would be on it. This was obviously beneficial for big drug lords like Pablo Escobar, who, at his peak, raked in 420 million dollars weekly. One in ten people in the United States supposedly used coke in 1979, so the market was filled with snow-blowing tools to help these people ingest the drugs.
