Colombian Marching Powder
Drugs like cocaine often appear in shows and films like White Lotus, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Pulp Fiction. Naturally, actors aren’t snorting real cocaine take after take, they’re doing it in their trailers. Productions use safe stand-ins like baking soda, powdered laxatives, sugar, or dairy-based powders. More recently, powdered inositol has become a common choice. Prop masters are responsible for making sure whatever substitute is used is safe to ingest or snort.
