Cocaine enters the body by the person snorting, injecting, or in its synthesized form (crack-cocaine) smoking. the drug enters through the blood vessels in either the sinus tissue, lungs, or directly to the blood. It then is carried through the blood stream and around the body, makes a trip through the brain, and down to your liver, where it is processed and excreted through your urine. Cocaine takes no longer than a 0.7th of a second between entering the body and feeling the euphoric effects.

∙ 9y agoBy using dopamine as a neurotransmitter, cocaine can affect the synapses. Cocaine attaches to the dopamine receptors of the presynaptic membrane. It prevents dopamine re-uptake, causing it to accumulate in the synaptic cleft. As an excitatory psychoactive drug, it amplifies synaptic transmission. The accumulation of dopamine creates a sense of euphoria.
