TLDR; participants with cocaine history were administered caffeine IV. At high doses (300mg) they reported some mild euphoria, and a strange taste and/or smell. Ask HN: aside from caffeine, what is the drug of choice around here?

> high doses (300mg) What's the equivalent of a 300mg IV dose in oral ingestion?

Tangential details...
The 2018 hemp farm bill allows products to have up to 0.3% THC, but it took years for people to realize that gummies are hefty enough that 0.3% means a gummy can have 10-20mg of THC. So, at the ripe age of 57 I finally tried THC.
It was very frustrating because most of the good stuff I expected didn't happen: no euphoria, no munchies, no relaxation. I do get some of the negative things, like dry mouth. The one good thing I get is music enhancement, but only if I do it once a week or less (10-15mg). I've tried doing it more frequently and upping the dose to compensate, but nope: if I invoke the genie too frequently he refuses to come out of the bottle.

Your friend isn't wrong. It's pretty much a direct blood vessel highway to the brain.
Hows that more direct than an injection?
Not everyone is easy to start an IV on, especially if it's hard for them to hold still (like if they're in so much pain that they're considering between IV drugs or a suppository).
