COCAINE (COC), a.k.a.: Crack -
Snow - Flake - Blow - Dust, etc.
Cocaine is a highly addictive
drug that is processed from the naturally occurring cocoa plant.
Users describe cocaine as giving them an ultimate rush, a
feeling of power and invincibility Cocaine is a commonly abused
drug around the entire world. Long term effects of cocaine usage
include cardiovascular problems, extreme paranoia, and when
snorted, can cause rupturing of the mucus membranes and can
cause the nasal septum to collapse. The major ways of taking
cocaine are sniffing or snorting, injecting, and smoking
(including free-base and crack cocaine).
Cocaine is a potent central
nervous system (CNS) stimulant and a local anesthetic.
Initially, it brings about extreme energy and restlessness while
gradually resulting in tremors, over-sensitivity and spasms. In
large amounts, cocaine causes fever, unresponsiveness, and
difficulty in breathing and unconsciousness.ont>
Cocaine is often self-administered by nasal inhalation,
intravenous injection and free-base smoking. It is excreted in
the urine in a short time primarily as Benzoylecgonine1,2.
Benzoylecgonine, a major metabolite of cocaine, has a longer
biological half-life (5-8 hours) than cocaine (0.5-1.5 hours),
and can generally be detected for 24-48 hours after cocaine
exposure2.
