Powder
cocaine, as the name suggests, is white powder which is most
commonly chopped up on a mirror, CD case or other smooth
surface, with a razor blade or credit card and then snorted
up the nose using a rolled bank note.
It cannot be smoked (or at least no real
effect will be obtained) in its powder form and must be
converted into an alkaline 'base' form (such as
Crack Cocaine)
to do so.
