If you eat cocaine, the effects can be intense but brief. Eating cocaine, which is known as 'eating cocaine', refers to consuming the drug orally by rubbing it along the gums or by swallowing the drug itself.
The digestive system absorbs cocaine more slowly when it is consumed this way, which means the high takes longer to kick in and gradually increases. As a result, some people may consume larger amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect they would get from smaller doses ingested by smoking or snorting.
While the delayed onset of the high might make the drug appear less dangerous than snorting, this is still a form of illegal usage, which can lead to serious health issues and potentially addiction. Additionally, there is a risk of overdosing because eating the drug takes more time to reach the brain, allowing users to take more than intended and mistakenly believe they have achieved a 'high'.
The potential side effects of eating cocaine can include increased heart rate, high blood pressure , anxiety, poor decision-making, lack of self-awareness, irritability, paranoia, tremors, increased energy and alertness, sweating, and the potential for hallucinations. In extreme situations, overeating can also lead to coma or sudden death.
