AB Cocaine  is  one  of  the  most  popular  drugs  of  abuse.  It  may  be  sniffed  into  the  nose  (snorted),  smoked,  or  injected  IV.  Occasionally,  it  is  combined  with  heroin  and  injected  ("speedball").  Cocaine  purchased  on  the  street  may  contain  adulterant  drugs  such  as  lidocaine  or  benzocaine  (Anesthetics,  Local)  or  stimulants  such  as  caffeine,  methamphetamine  (Amphetamines),  ephedrine  (Pseudoephedrine,  Phenylephrine,  and  other  Decongestants),  and  phencyclidine.  Most  illicit  cocaine  in  the  United  States  is  adulterated  with  levamisole,  an  antiparasitic  drug  that  can  cause  agranulocytosis  and  leukocytoclastic  vasculitis.
