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. The straightforward answer in understanding the risk for cocaine addiction is that it is addictive but some people who use it don’t become dependent. The more comprehensive response to its risk is that many factors affect whether a person consuming it develops an addiction.
