Coke... why up the nose???

[Night ROLLER]

ok about 2 days ago i asked if you can sniff valium.
and basically got an aswer that ive wasted it because "The drip will kick in and you will absorb it in your stomach" anmd i would be better off just swallowing the pill.
wellm y question is why do ppl sniff cocke if they would be better off swallowing it
sorry for the ignorance but ive always wondered that and i'm not realy educated on that topic
thanx
and thanx to all ppl that answerd on my volium post.......... tanx

valium is not very water soluble, so it does not absorb through the nose's membrane very well. it would just end up in the stomach and enter your bloodstream from there.
cocaine hcl is water soluble, so it does absorb through the nose's membrane... so it enters the bloodstream there, and doesnt need to get to the stomach.
in general, if thats how a drug is commonly done, theres a reason... just try snorting some weed, plugging some valiums, smoking some e, or swallowing some h and itll make sense.
