'Schnee' and 'Kokain' can mean the same thing in the context of drugs. 'Kokain' is the direct and factual term. 'Schnee' is a colloquial expression for it and is more suitable in informal language or in reports about drug slang.

'Kokain' is unambiguous and is used especially in serious, medical, or legal contexts.
