What is Cocaine?

There are two forms of cocaine: powdered form that an addict snorts, and crack-cocaine which an addict smokes. It is a highly addictive recreational drug that is either a white crystalline powder or an off-white chunky substance. It is snorted (inhaled through nose), smoked and injected into the bloodstream. The drug greatly affects the nervous system by increasing the hormone & neurotransmitter level that stimulates key pleasure centers in the brain and lead to extremely heightened euphoria. Tolerance to cocaine develops soon and the addict gradually increases the dose to get a similar high.

The Consequences of Cocaine Use

Cocaine is a stimulant, therefore it causes your heart to beat faster and your blood vessels to constrict, which can lead to high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes. Heart attacks in young addicts without a history of heart disease are so frequently due to cocaine abuse, that emergency room doctors are taught to consider it as one of the first diagnoses.

Cocaine is an important cause of cardiac arrests. Cocaine causes one’s heart to speed up, and in some cases go so fast that it actually stops. What is especially deadly about cocaine is that there is no correlation between how many times one has used cocaine or how much one has used, and when one will suffer a cardiac arrest. Some people die after their first use. Other people who have used cocaine hundreds of times stay alive, and then drop dead the very next time they use cocaine.

As with all drugs, two of the most significant consequences of cocaine addiction are psychological & social deterioration. But with cocaine, they happen faster and harder than with other drugs. If you are a cocaine addict, you don’t have to wonder why you’ve hurt your friends and family.
