What are the logistics actually involved? Can you actually get high just from having coke inserted into your anus? How is it put there? A person couldn't "blow" coke powder very far past the sphincter, & unless you've emptied your bowels recently, wouldn't the natural muscle motility of the colon wall lining merely move the coke onward & downward?

Is there even enough time for the cocaine to enter your bloodstream? By what mechanism would it do so? I can understand having cocaine in liquid form injected into the bloodstream perhaps, much the way liquid penicillin is often injected into the fatty tissue of the rear end. But that's a far cry from having powder "blown" into the anus.
