∙ 12y agoWhether it is snorted, injected or smoked, cocaine is a stimulant which affects the body's production of dopamine, the brain chemical governing pleasure and movement.
As a short-term effect of cocaine ingested is constriction of the blood vessels, an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature may be experienced along with dilation of pupils. Whereas a user may argue that he feels less tired and more mentally alert, the repeated and long-term use of the drug has devastating effects on the body. In these cases, chest pain, irregular heart rhythms and seizures can ensure. More fatal injuries can include: stroke, heart attack and respiratory failure. The least threatening effects of cocaine ingestion can be anxiety, irritability, restlessness, muscle spasms, auditory and visual hallucinations, loss of sexual desire and paranoid psychosis.

If you smoke freebase cocaine, it releases methylecgonidine into the user's body, which can be damaging to heart, lungs, and liver.
If you snort something does it go in your lungs?
"That's exactly where powder cocaine goes when it is snorted. With the cocaine in your lungs, it is deposited into the bloodstream, which allows for a quicker high than if it were ingested." The above answer is not correct. Cocaine that is snorted is not inhaled into the lungs Crack cocaine is smoked, and therefore, enters the lungs and produces the fastest effect. Powder cocaine, which is administered by the route of nasal insufflation, is absorbed by the mucus membrane that lines the nasal cavity. The capillaries lining the nasal mucosa absorb the drug and it enters the bloodstream in that manner.

What does the drug crack do?
Crack is just a smokeable, freebase form of powder cocaine (AKA blow, coke, nosecandy, snow, yayo, etc.). The effects are almost exactly the same as powder cocaine. Increased energy, excitability and attention with slight euphoria. The only differences between the two are as follows: Onset: <30 seconds (~25-30mins for powder) Length: 5-10mins (30+mins for powder) Cost: ~$20USD/gram (Up to $100USD/gram for powder) The high from crack is also stronger than the high from powder cocaine. Physiologically-wise, crack is more addictive than power cocaine and not as safe being it is possible (And is often the case with cheaper crack), the manufacturer may have not purified the finished product and there is still chemicals left from manufacturing which can damage your lungs a lot more. As far as the manufacturing of crack, it is quite simple to create crack. The majority of powder cocaine available on the street is actually a salt form of cocaine, usually hydrochloride which is what is used in making crack. The manufacturing of crack involves breaking down baking powder in powder cocaine which dissolves the hydrochloride from the cocaine, leaving the freebase form which is usually then rolled into "rocks."

How can you pass a drug test after smoking cocaine within 59hours?
If you were "smoking" cocaine, you are referring to a reduced form of cocaine called "crack" or "freebase", since cocaine hydrochloride has an ignition temperature well above anything you would suck into your lungs. Also, the "crack" is probably laced heavily with ultra-cheap amphetamines (the stuff that makes your heart race) and worthless lidocaine (the stuff that gives you the instant mild headache). Having said that, the only way to test negative within 59 hours is to not smoke it. You have no chance whatsoever of passing the test, and you will probably test positive for 3 or 4 weeks. Best of luck.
