I was wondering because most movies they really snort the stuff and it can't be real Coke!! What is it? And Please don't say Powered sugar! I really don't think it's that! That would hurt wouldn't it?

Snorting anything hurts, but they use powdered milk or baking powder because the have that granular texture real cocaine has. In fact, baking powder is used to cut real cocaine. So there you go.

Fake Cocaine
Option #1 by Sean McArdle
One solution is to use powered sugar, and have the actors blow (ie exhale), rather than inhale. From the audience, the effect is the same. The powder disperses so fast that the audience doesn't even realize the difference. Try it with different amounts of sugar, and experiment with blowing it in different directions (ie specifically away from the actor, off the edge of the table, or something like that).
Option #2 by Sheldon Johnson (BIGCANADIAN)
I spoke to a pharmacist today who recommended we go with powdered sugar (provided the actor is not a diabetic). She also recommended we purchase a sodium chloride nasal inhaler (NOT a decongestant), and that the actor take a couple of hits of that after each show. It should help clean the sinuses, and prevent the growth of bacteria.
Option #3 by Trudy
We used baking powder...as it clumps up better and doesn't fly away. We had it on a mirror and they 'chopped' it with a credit card...it looked and sounded authentic...not gritty like sugar' The actors simply 'acted' the snort and it looked great. Our house holds 250...so it too is very 'cozy' no one knew the difference.

Movies also use powdered milk, soy baby formula, or Ovaltine for fake cocaine (like the Basketball Diaries). It won't hurt your system in anyway, and if you actually do snort it, it
won't hurt your nose too much (if at all).

Just different things that are edible and won't hurt someone. Like sugar, baking powder, powered milk, but the most popular is flour... not self rising of course.
