We say that anything taken beyond the limit is unacceptable.  Cocaine, which is obtained from coca plant, is a stimulant that disturbs the central nervous system. This has also proven to suppress the appetite of a person. There are various ways of administering cocaine. We can take in cocaine either orally or through injections or by puffing the drug.

Let us see the problems one may have to face when drug is taken beyond limits

When you sniff or puff cocaine you may land up taking 0.1 to 0.2 grams of cocaine. In other words, we say 2 to 4 lines. When you take the cocaine orally, it may be around 1.2 grams. When it is injected, it will be around 750 to 800 mg of fatal dose. If the person injects about 500mg, then it is a lethal dose. You never know how much of cocaine you take in when you inhale Hence sniffing cocaine is always dangerous. Cocaine overdose can have drastic effects which can lead even to death of that person. Side effects of cocaine may lead to insane hallucinations. One such illustration is the person might always fear that somebody is following him.

Sometimes this cocaine overdose may lead to malfunctioning of heart or respiratory system which in turn might lead to death particularly when it is taken through veins or when it is smoked or sniffed. You can expect one to die within minutes when cocaine is injected. Isn’t it too fatal?  Even when you smoke cocaine the effect is going to be the same. Basing cocaine may also lead to dangerous consequences. However such cocaine overdose rarely happens.

However cocaine overdose may be a rare event. But, a little more of cocaine will always show its effects.
Effects on Heart and blood vessels: When cocaine is overtaken functioning of heart may not be regular leading to heart failure. It may lead to hypertension thereby leading to bleeding in the brain. This in turn may lead to brain hemorrhage causing one to die.
Convulsion:  A person who takes cocaine overdose may get frequent convulsions which in turn may lead to loss of consciousness.
Respiratory troubles: There might be some respiratory trouble sleading to failure of the respiratory functions.

You can never judge that this amount of cocaine is an overdose for this person under this condition. That’s just not practically possible to say. As this depends on various other factors such as physical conditions of that person or diseases he may be suffering or he may even be allergic to it. Evidently if the person has some heart or blood relating problems, he/she will sure react to this overdose. Cocaine along with other narcotic drugs or even with alcohol may lead to increase in the risk. As cocaine is found in cut ups, it is extremely difficult to decide the exact amount of dosage as cocaine overdose.

According to the medicinal professionals, a dose can be either fatal or lethal. For them fatal dose is one percent death and in case of lethal dose, it is fifty percent death. Anyway you take less or more amount of cocaine still you are prone to overdose and risks. So take care.

Cocaine, the name itself attracts the drug addicts.  But Redux Beverages selected the name to give more publicity to their drink amongst all people.  Cocaine drink contains only vitamins and proteins. The drink is free of illegal drugs.  The controversy pertaining to this drink does not upset the company in promoting the sale of the legal alternative liquid cocaine.  The negative publicity due to the name and growing demand makes the marketing job easier.  The marketing campaign has only one website that is Myspace page.

Misconceptions are Common

As it holds the name of an illegal drug, initially when the drink was released into the market, this was considered to be illegal, hard drink for kids and not so good by many others.  The company then welcomed the protests and complaints and gave explanation clearly to everyone who came up with a query.  The company took all criticisms on the optimistic side.  Truth and fearlessness of the company made the Hate Cocaine campaign to change their mind.

Lot of Caffeine, Not Cocaine

The liquid cocaine or the Cocaine Energy Drink does not contain cocaine at all.  The percentage of caffeine may be more than any other drink.  Parents do not prefer the drink for this reason to their kids. Even active politicians do not like it for the same purpose.  Redux accepts the fact regarding the presence of high level caffeine in this energy drink.

Powerful Drink

The liquid cocaine is 350% stronger than Red Bull. It gives instant energy without sugar crash.  Caffeine is not only the content of the Cocaine Energy Drink, but it also contains guarana, taurine, simple sugar dextrose, Inositol and vitamins C, B12 and B6.  Celebrity drummer Raymond Herrera found it to be yummy when he tasted this drink for the first time.  The security guards have taken and proved the fact that it does not give drowsiness like illegal cocaine. This energy drink has proven to induce an increased level of alertness among individuals.

The pictures in the website of the company reveal the enthusiasm of the party lovers with the cocaine energy drink. Have a look at it and then you would know the reality about this delicious drink!

Marketing Strategy

As Redux Beverages do not involve much cash in marketing, they advertise online receive online orders.  Cocaine Energy Drink got its publicity mainly through word of mouth.  Word of mouth moves quicker than the energy drink.  Previously, the liquid cocaine was found only in California and a few selected places in New York. Now, the online orders have escalated the sale of cocaine energy drink.  Redux wants to introduce the drink in international markets, wherever the illegal drug cocaine has good demand.  The positive attitude and the strange marketing strategy of Redux Beverages have forced the company to survive in the market with flying colors!

Cocaine side effects often depend on the amount and frequency of usage. Irrespective of the way the drug is consumed, if you take the drug even once you are very likely to undergo the short term side effects of cocaine. If you are a person who has been habituated to the intake of cocaine for the past several years, then you are very likely experience its long term side effects.

Short Term Cocaine Side Effects

Cocaine side effects are often disastrous if it has been consumed on a long term. Short term usage can occasionally prove to be dangerous too depending on the tolerance level and metabolic rate of the individual.

• A feel of enthusiasm due to elevated levels of energy

• Enlargement in the size of your pupils

• Elevated heart rate

• Reduction in appetite

• Elevated body temperature

The feeling of enthusiasm and euphoria induces an urge to take the drug often. The high feeling in turn reduces the feeling of sleepiness and tends to increase productivity at workplace. These factors induce often urges you to consume cocaine which is very helpful in elevating your performance. Frequent usage in the long run makes you get addicted to the drug that cocaine withdrawal becomes almost impossible. The tolerance limit to cocaine in the long run increases and you might be pushed to take a huge amount of cocaine to have the euphoric feeling in the long run. Dependency increases and you get to know the negative side effects of cocaine only in the long run.

Cocaine is often taken by people who are crazy to reduce their weight. Since cocaine brings in a reduction of appetite, you would not initially mind to take multiple doses of cocaine and stay without eating even for days. Such a habit in the long run increases tolerance to the drug and makes you more dependent.

Long Term Cocaine side Effects

Slowly and steadily, the long term effects become invisible. The most popular ones include

• Cardiovascular disorders

• Uncontrollable fever

• Respiratory problems

Very long term usage of cocaine is so dangerous that it can affect several parts of the body and can even prove fatal if not properly treated via rehabilitation.
