Or, and hear me out, people outside of cocaine's traditional region are using it wrong.

The past being a different country, I was fortunate in the early Noughts to be able to purchase Bolivian coca tea bags from an early online drug dealer called Amazon dot com.

They were a fantastic addition to the tea shelf. I would favor a cup of the coca tea when energy was low going into an evening with social plans. Even, bright energy, short acting (duration is two hours roughly) barely feel it fading.

How does that compare to refined cocaine taken intranasally? Remarkably, I can't tell you, I don't touch the stuff. Sure wish I could still buy mate de coca though.

Immediate, bright energy, short acting (duration is half hour), feel it fading within minutes (which is why you want more)

Bingo.

Coca tea is awesome.

Should perhaps be insufflation

It should not be insufflation. Intranasal administration is a synonym for nasal administration you'll find in many papers, it's older.

Insufflation is actually a misnomer for nasal administration, insufflation is blowing something into a person for medical reasons, not using vacuum to pull it into the body.

Now, it's a common misnomer, which I generally let pass without correction. But sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!
