The most common routes of cocaine abuse are by inhalation, snorting and intravenous injection. Cocaine skin inoculation is rare and it’s used to ovoid track marks or when peripheral veins are sclerosed and the addict, unable to access a peripheral vein, injects substance by mistake or deliberately, in subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Deliberate subcutaneous injection (skin popping) is also used to avoid track marks which represent stigmata of drug addiction.

Abstract
The most common routes of cocaine abuse are by inhalation, snorting and intravenous injection. Cocaine skin inoculation is rare and it’s used to ovoid track marks or when peripheral veins are sclerosed and the addict, unable to access a peripheral vein, injects substance by mistake or deliberately, in subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Deliberate subcutaneous injection (skin popping) is also used to avoid track marks which represent stigmata of drug addiction.File in questo prodotto:
