COCAINE









From the plant called Erythroxylon coca, cocaine is a local anesthetic and central nervous system stimulant. It can be taken by chewing on coca leaves, smoked, inhaled ("snorted") or injected.


A dose of between 25 to 150 mg of cocaine is taken when it is inhaled. Within a few seconds to a few minutes after it is taken, cocaine can cause:

1) a feeling of euphoria
2) excitement
3) reduced hunger
4) a feeling of strength


After this "high" which lasts about one hour, users of cocaine may "crash" into a period of depression. This crash causes cocaine users to seek more cocaine to get out of this depression and results in addiction. Withdrawal from cocaine can cause the addict to feel depressed, anxious, and paranoid. The addict may then go into a period of exhaustion and they may sleep for a very long time.
Various doses of cocaine can also produce neurological and behavioral problems like:

1) dizziness
2) headache
3) movement problems
4) anxiety
5) insomnia
6) depression
7) hallucinations

smoking is very bad for health...drinking to a certain limit is ok...its actually good for health but not too much...
its not the question of being allowed or not its just that you should know better and say no to things which are bad for you....
