Cocaine Overdose
A Little more of Cocaine!
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.

this is way off… i have snorted 7 balls of coke within 2 hours (24 grams) and felt fully numb but no major respitory problems or head damage of any kind. since coke has a half life of 2 hours and fully leaves your system in less than 4 days… it is 1 of the safest recreational drugs except that of pot

there are a lot of things your body will do in order to alert you that you are having an overdose. your heart beating quickly isnt an exact indicator that you are overdosing. an irregular heart beat just mite mean you are in trouble. obviously, you need to know your limit to every drug you do. always have Valium around in case you have an emergency…

A cocaine overdose can result regardless of the route of administration. However, the risk of an overdose and its chances of being fatal increase when cocaine is injected. Smoking followed by intranasal use of cocaine appears to be the next riskiest ways of administration that increase the chance of an overdose and fatality
