It tends to get into the system faster through the nose rather than the mouth since the mucosa lining can absorb the drug directly into the bloodstream. Sublingual, nasally, by suppository, and by injection tend to be faster and more efficient than oral. The digestive process weakens a number of drugs, plus it takes about a half hour to start entering the bloodstream.

How does cocaine enter the body?

Cocaine can enter the human body by the nose or the mouth. You can snort it or sniff it.


Does snorting cocaine cause numbness in the nose and mouth?

Yes, topically cocaine is an anesthetic. That is why it was put on the planet.To relieve physical pain.


Would cocaine be easier to get out of ones system if it is only smelled rather than actually ingested?

If by, "smelled," you mean, sniffed/snorted, then no. Cocaine will not leave your system faster if you snort it rather than swallow it. Your nose is connected to your mouth and throat. Anything you snort goes up your nose, and then down the back of your throat, where it is swallowed and sent straight to the stomach. So when you snort cocaine, you still end up swallowing it. It just takes a detour up your nose and then back down again first. If by, "smelled," you mean, actually smelling the cocaine like you would smell a flower, then, you can't get cocaine in your system by smelling the odor of it.
