Facts about Cocaine
• Cocaine is an extremely addictive drug. It can be made into a purer form
called crack. You could become addicted to crack after even one use.
• Even if you take cocaine in small doses, it may infect the lungs and harm
the brain. You may become violent, have panic attacks, or imagine things
that aren’t there.
• If you use cocaine often, you may lose interest in your physical
appearance, friends, sports, hobbies, food, and anything else that does
not include cocaine.
• Besides the high, you might get several other effects from cocaine:
restlessness, irritability, sleeplessness, confusion, anxiety, and slurred speech.
• When you come down from a cocaine high—crash—you feel depressed,
anxious, irritable, suspicious of others, and very tired.
• When you use cocaine—usually by snorting it or smoking it—you get
a high that comes in a few seconds and lasts a few minutes. Your blood
pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature all go up.
An overdose can cause death.
