There are several reasons that cocaine users may eat cocaine in powder form. Eating cocaine may seem less dangerous than snorting or injecting, although it is not a standard method of consumption. In theory, cocaine can be consumed or drunk, dissolved in liquid, or combined with food. However, there is no particular reason that cocaine users would want to use this method because the cocaine would have to pass through the digestive system so that the cocaine high would be milder, and the effects would take much longer to be felt.
