FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Cocaine?
Cocaine is one of the most potent stimulants of natural origin. It is extracted from the leaves of the coca plant (Erythroxylon coca), which is indigenous to the Andean highlands of South America. It is a potent brain stimulant and one of the most powerfully addictive drugs.Cocaine is usually chopped into a fine powder which is quickly inhaled through the nose with a short straw or rolled up paper money. It can also be injected into the blood stream.
How is cocaine used?
There are four primary methods of ingesting cocaine. These are - 1. "Snorting" - absorbing cocaine through the mucous membranes of the nose. 2. Injecting - users mix cocaine powder with water and use a syringe to inject the solution intravenously. 3. Freebasing - Cocaine hydrochloride is converted to a "freebase" which can then be smoked. 4. Crack Cocaine - Cocaine hydrochloride is mixed with ammonia or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and other ingredients, causing it to solidify into pellets or "rocks". The crack is then smoked in glass pipes.
What is Cocaine addiction? How does it happen?
Cocaine addiction is being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on cocaine which is psychologically and physically habit-forming. Chronic cocaine use can lead to a cocaine addiction and in some cases damage the brain and other organs. An addict will continue to use cocaine even when faced with adverse consequences. Dependency can develop in less than 2 weeks. Some research indicates that a psychological dependency may develop after a single dose of high-potency cocaine. As the person develops a tolerance to cocaine, higher and higher doses are needed to produce the same level of euphoria.
What are the symptoms of Cocaine addiction?
The symptoms of Cocaine addiction include but are not limited to cardiac problems, neglect of family responsibilities, ignoring job demands, social isolation, neglect of body needs and hygiene, disintegration of the mucous membrane, collapse of the nasal septum, selling of personal property, mood swings, weight loss, change in friends, change in daily schedule (staying out all night), always having a stuffy, runny nose and constant loss of appetite
Why would anyone become addicted to Cocaine?
The effects of cocaine are immediate, extremely pleasurable, and transient. It produce intense but ephemeral euphoria and can make users feel more gumptious. Like caffeine, cocaine produces wakefulness and reduces hunger. Psychological effects of cocaine include feelings of well-being and a grandiose sense of power and ability mixed with anxiety and restlessness. As the drug wears off, these temporary sensations of mastery are replaced by an intense depression, and the drug abuser will then "crash", becoming lethargic and typically sleeping for several days.
What are the physiological effects of long term cocaine use?
Long term use of cocaine may prove fatal. It causes the coronary arteries to constrict as a result of which, the blood pressure rises and the blood supply to the heart diminishes. This can cause heart attacks or convulsions. Chronic users and those with hypertension, epilepsy, and cardiovascular disease are at particular risk. Increased use may sensitize the brain to the drug's effects so that less of the substance is needed to induce a seizure. Those who inject the drug are at high risk for AIDS and hepatitis when they share needles. Allergic reactions to cocaine or other substances mixed in with the drug may also occur.
How long after cocaine use can it be detected in the urine?
Cocaine is excreted in the urine primarily as benzoylecgonine in a short period of time. Benzoylecgonine can be generally detected for 24 to 60 hours after cocaine use or exposure. Exact clearance rate times can't be determined since the metabolic rate is individualized depending on weight and other factors.
What are the short term effects of cocaine?
Cocaine's effects appear almost immediately after a single dose, and disappear within a few minutes or hours. When taken in small amounts, cocaine usually makes the user feel euphoric, energetic, talkative, and mentally alert, especially to the sensations of sight, sound, and touch. It can also temporarily decrease the need for food and sleep. Some users find that the drug helps them to perform simple physical and intellectual tasks more quickly, while others can experience the opposite effect. The short-term physiological effects of cocaine include constricted blood vessels; dilated pupils; and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. Large amounts of cocine intensify the user's high, but may also lead to bizarre, erratic, and violent behavior. These users may experience tremors, vertigo, muscle twitches, paranoia, or, with repeated doses, a toxic reaction closely resembling amphetamine poisoning. Some users of cocaine report feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. In rare instances, sudden death can occur on the first use of cocaine or unexpectedly thereafter. Cocaine-related deaths are often a result of cardiac arrest or seizures followed by respiratory arrest.
What are the medical complications of cocaine use?
There are enormous medical complications associated with cocaine use. Some of the most frequent complications are cardiovascular effects, including disturbances in heart rhythm and heart attacks, respiratory effects such as chest pain and respiratory failure, Neurological effects including strokes, seizure, and headaches and gastrointestinal complications, including abdominal pain and nausea.
I heard that Alcohol consumption complicates Cocaine's pathophysiology. Is it true ?
Research has revealed a potentially dangerous interaction between cocaine and alcohol. Taken in combination, the two drugs are converted by the body to cocaethylene. Cocaethylene has a longer duration of action in the brain and is more toxic than either drug alone. While more research needs to be done, it is noteworthy that the mixture of cocaine and alcohol is the most common two-drug combination that results in drug-related death.
Is there any difference in the effects produced by different routes of cocaine administration?
Different routes of cocaine administration can produce different adverse effects. Regularly snorting cocaine, for example, can lead to loss of sense of smell, nosebleeds, problems with swallowing, hoarseness, and an overall irritation of the nasal septum, which can lead to a chronically inflamed, runny nose. Ingested cocaine can cause severe bowel gangrene, due to reduced blood flow. And, persons who inject cocaine have puncture marks most commonly in their forearms. Intravenous cocaine users may also experience an allergic reaction, either to the drug, or to some additive in street cocaine, which can result, in severe cases, in death.
How does cocaine produce its effects?
When a pleasurable event, like sex, drug abuse etc., is occurring, it is accompanied by a large increase in the amounts of dopamine released in the nucleus accumbens by neurons originating in the ventral tegmental area of brain. In the normal communication process, dopamine is released by a neuron into the synapse (the small gap between two neurons), where it binds with specialized proteins (called dopamine receptors) on the neighboring neuron, thereby sending a signal to that neuron. Normally dopamine is then recycled back into the transmitting neuron by a specialized protein called the dopamine transporter. If cocaine is present, it attaches to the dopamine transporter and blocks the normal recycling process, resulting in a build-up of dopamine in the synapse which contributes to the pleasurable effects of cocaine.
What are the symptoms of a cocaine overdose?
The symptoms of a cocaine overdose are intense and generally short in nature. The exact amount of cocaine that causes an overdose varies from person to person and is dependent on a variety of factors including weight, metabolism, health etc. An overdose from cocaine can cause a serious increase in blood pressure, which can cause bleeding in the brain leading to a higher possibility of a stroke. A cocaine overdose can cause heart and respiratory problems resulting in death. Symptoms of cocaine overdose may include some or all of the following: Dangerous or fatal rise in body temperature, Seizures, Heart attack, Brain hemorrhage, Kidney failure, Stroke, Repeated convulsions, Tremors, Delirium and finally, Death!
What are the symptoms of cocaine withdrawal?
Regular use of cocaine can lead to strong psychological dependence. Those who abruptly stop their cocaine use can experience cocaine addiction withdrawal symptoms as they readjust to functioning without the drug. The length of cocaine addiction withdrawal varies from person to person and also depends on the amount and frequency of use. Cocaine addiction withdrawal symptoms include but are not limited to: agitation, depression, intense craving for the drug, extreme fatigue, anxiety, angry outbursts, lack of motivation, nausea/vomiting, shaking, irritability, disturbed sleep
How long does cocaine stay in the body?
Cocaine, because it is water-soluble, travels through the body rather quickly. The general rule of thumb is 1 to 7 days, depending upon the size and metabolism of the person. It can also be affected by how much cocaine was ingested over what time period. As far as passing a drug test is concerned, there is no guaranteed right amount of time either. It would depend largely upon the above-mentioned variable and the type and sophistication of the test. Cocaine could be detected in the hair follicles, for example, for as long as the hair had been growing.
What are the physical warning signs of cocaine abuse?
The physical warning signs of cocaine abuse can vary, depending on the person. Quite often the eyes are a good indicator of cocaine use. A person will appear wide and or bloodshot eyes and the pupils are dilated. Stimulants, like cocaine, increase heart rate and blood pressure so heart irregularities can be a warning sign. Cocaine users often have increase have an elevated speech pattern so speech irregularities are a warning sign. Cocaine is an appetite suppressant so people that use cocaine regularly often lose weight or are not hungry at meal time is a warning sign. And because cocaine is powerful stimulant, people who use cocaine often have a difficult time falling asleep or suffer from disruptive, inconsistent sleep patterns is a warning sign.
How serious and widespread is cocaine abuse?
Cocaine is the second most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. About 10 percent of Americans over the age of 12 have tried cocaine at least once in their lifetime, about 2 percent have tried crack, and nearly one percent is currently using cocaine
