A member asked:
If ingested, does stomach acids break down a small amount of cocaine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cocaine: Depending on the form, ingested (eaten) Cocaine is not well absorbed from stomach because it's a weak base -- stomach acid would break some down. Any remaining could be absorbed in duodenum, though. Ingested Cocaine can cause bowel ischemia or death. Think of those who may transport it internally, in baggies. Not a safe idea at all.
