| Cocaine is a naturally derived Central Nervous System stimulant extracted and refined from the Coca plant grown primarily in the Andean region of South America. Cocaine is typicall a white-ish powder with a bitter, numbing taste. It is most often snorted, though it can also be injected and used orally. |
| White powder cocaine can be smoked to some effect, although it is a very inefficient method of ingestion. Because of the high temperatures present when smoking, powder cocaine tends to burn rather than vaporize. For this reason, freebase cocaine, also known as crack, is created from powder cocain for smoking. Freebase cocaine vaporizes at smoking temperatures providing more effect with less material, as well as faster onset and a more intense high than powder cocaine. |
| Cocaine is illegal to possess and sell in the United States and in most other countries. It became a regulated substance in 1914, as one of the first substances to be made illegal in the U.S. |
| The chemical name for cocaine is Benzoylmethyl ecognine (C17H21NO4). It is a bitter, white, odorless, crystalline drug. |
| Coca leaf chewing has been practiced for thousands of years. Cocaine was first isolated from the Erythroxylon coca plant around 1850. Medicinal use of Cocaine increased through the late 19th century and recreational use started to become a known problem in the early 20th century. Recreational use was banned in the Us in 1914. |

| If you snort cocaine it will produce effects in about a minute. If you smoke freebase cocaine it will produce effects almost immediately.. possibly before exhaling. Injected cocaine also produces effects within a few seconds. |
| The effects of snorted cocaine usually last about 20 to 40 mintues. This is one of the main causes of addiction. As the effects wear off.. the user wants to snort more. A hit of freebase cocaine will usually produce effects lasting 5 to 15 minutes. |
| The effects of cocaine depend on the person and the dose. Possible effects include feelings of well-being, decreased appetite, stimulation, sexual arousal, and increased focus. Negative effects can include increased body temperature and heart rate, agitation and anxiety, paranoia, dizziness, nausea/vomiting, violent behavior, kidney failure, seizure, stroke, and heart attack. |
| Street cocaine is often impure. Injecting impure cocaine can be deadly . Repeated snorting can cause severe damage to the nose. |

| Smoking freebase cocaine can cause breathing difficulties. |
| One of the most problematic aspects of cocaine is its addictive qualities. While cocaine is not believed to be physically addicting, it is, without a doubt, psychologically addicting. Those who use cocaine heavily or regularly frequently encounter great difficulty ceasing use. Many people find themselves drawn to overusing both crack and powder cocaine. Initial tolerance develops rapidly, especially with heavy use, though tolerance appears to level off relatively quickly (users do not generally require more and more material over timek, once they have rached heavy use. |
| Research shows that cocaine use during pregnanacy may increase chances of miscarriage, premature labour, and still birth. Cocaine is likely to e passed to a chil during breast-feeding, resulting in irritability and lack of appetite in the baby. |
| Pure cocaine was first used in the 1880s as a local anesthetic in eye, nose, and throat surgeries because of its ability to probide anesthesia as well as to constrict blood vessels and limit bleeding. Many of its therapeutic applications are now obsolete though due to the development of safer drugs. |
| During abstinence of cocaine, many users complain of sleep and eating disorders, depression, and anxiety, and the craving for cocaine often compels them to take it again. Treatment of the dependent cocaine user is therefore difficult, and the relapse rate is high. Nevertheless, some heavy users have been able to quit on their own. Up to 75% of peple who try cocaine will become addicted to it. And only one out of four people who try to quit will be able to do it without help. |
| Each day 3,000 -5,000 more people will experiment with cocaine. |
| Young single people are the most frequent users of cocaine, with male users outnumbering female users two to one. |
| Adults 18 to 25 years old have a higher rate of current cocaine use than those in any other age group. |
| Cocaine users may lose interest in their family, sex, jobs, just about everything, except using more cocaine |

| Cocaine activates the brain's pleasure center, which involves the brainstem, limbic system, and frontal cortex. |
| The neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine are interrelated. Dopamine is formed from tyrosine (an amino acid found in protein) and can, in turn, be used to form norepinephrine. The rapid release of these specific neurotransmitters results in the euphoric feeling of increased drive and energy experienced by the user. But because increased use of cocaine depletes the body's store of neurotransmitters when these stores are exhaused, the central nervous system does not funcktion adequately because the brain can no longer meet its everyday requirements of these chemicals, and it goes into withdrawal, causing intense feelings of depression, and craving for more cocaine. "This craving is so powerful that laboratory animals will self-administer cocaine continually-ignoring basic desires to eat, drink, or mate---- until the cocaine kills them" |
