How Dangerous Is Intravenous Cocaine Use, Compared to Insufflated?

Question by Colt45: How dangerous is intravenous cocaine use, compared to insufflated?
I’ve used cocaine quite a bit, went to rehab not too long ago, and am currently at almost 9 months clean. The first time around I relapsed at 3 months but only used half a gram (intranasally) and threw the rest away. I keep thinking about shooting it up, and was wondering, how much worse is it for you to shoot it compared to snorting it?

Thanks.

The dependency for injecting cocaine is 4.5 times more intense than snorting it. That means the dependency for injecting cocaine is also 1.5 times more intense than smoking crack-cocaine, unbelievably.

When you snort cocaine, only 40% on average makes it into your blood, taking 3-5 minutes on average for the affects to take place – which means the peak is not as high as injecting it.

When injecting cocaine, 100% makes it into your blood, taking just 10-30 seconds on average for the affects to take place – which means the peak is the maximum it can ever be, making the craving more intense and the comedown worse.

It is also very easy to overdose injecting cocaine. It appears the average man can overdose on just 0.8 grams of cocaine being injected.
