What starts as seemingly harmless curiosity to cocaine can become a life-threatening dependency with damaging mental, educational, financial, and relational consequences.
Cocaine is a dangerously addictive drug that increases overall alertness, concentration, and energy levels. Some people called this a stimulant and it’s derived from a Coca plant, native to South America. The illicit use of cocaine in the United States as a controlled substance under Schedule II remains illegal. It is classified as a drug with a high potential for abuse and acute psychological or bodily dependence. The cause of addiction tends to operate on the brain’s dopamine reward pathway.
