That's why it's called...."baking" soda? Baking powder is just baking soda with powdered acid and cornstarch added. Yeah, if you snort it, it won't be good for your lungs. Otherwise, this video is a crock.

Back in my cocaine college days, we used to put a "bump" of baking soda at the end of the line. Another thing we used to do is rinse our mouths out good with baking soda and water, then put a spoon or two of cocaine on the inside of our bottom lip.



Ahhhhh....youth! It's wasted on the young.

Kitty litter is fine.... until the cat uses it. It's usually baking soda and clay. Great in a small deep container for outdoor ashtrays!
