Recreational and Addictive Drug Cocaine
Cocaine, which holds the scientific name benzoylmethyl ecgonine, is available from coca leaves in crystalline form. It stimulates the nervous system and also acts as an appetite suppressant. Cocaine creates harmful effects physically and mentally, so it is considered as an illegal drug. The purity of the drug is not yet defined, so, the adulteration of this drug with various substances make it more harmful and addictive. Cocaine sulfate, crack cocaine and freebase are the different forms of illegal cocaine. Let us discuss about crack cocaine and its effects in this article.
High Potential Crack Cocaine
This drug is available in crystal form or in black solid form. Since heating it makes a cracking sound, it has got the name as crack cocaine. It is found in pure form and is considered to be more effective and stronger than any other forms of cocaine. Today, the society is facing the biggest problem of crack addiction. It has attracted all levels of people in the country. Addiction to the drug induces people to do anything in many scenarios.
Short Period Recreation
The drug can be inhaled, smoked or sniffed to get the sensation of ‘high’. The powerful chemicals in crack get absorbed by the lungs rapidly. Lungs carry the chemicals to your brain through bloodstream. This leads to cardiac arrest, coma, nervous disorder and even death. The pleasure received by the users can exist only for 5-7 minutes.
Various Street Terms for Crack
As it is the illicit drug it is known in different names in order to hide the identity. It is known as beat, kryptonite, scrabble, topo [Spanish], base, candy crunch, munch, raw, sugar block and troop.
Ill Effects of Crack
The effect of this illegal drug exists in the system for a long period and few effects lie for a shorter period. Crack reduces the life span of a person. Sleeplessness, depression, edginess and fatigue are the most common effects. It escalates the heartbeat. The non- availability of the drug and insufficient pleasure from the drug make the users restless and hostile. The regular usage of the drug may lead to heart attacks, respiratory failures and stroke. In some cases, this may prove fatal too. Chest pain and bleeding is quite common amongst the users.
Short Term Effects & Long Term Effects
The short term effects of crack are depression, anxiety, increased heart rate, nausea, dilated pupils, loss of appetite, high body temperature, high blood pressure and constricted peripheral blood vessels. Increase in the quantity of crack may result in sudden death.
The long term effects of crack cocaine are breathing problems, loss in weight, malnutrition, severe depression, disturbance in mood, damage in liver, kidney and lungs, tooth decay, dysfunction in sex, damage to genitals, addiction after one use and severe sweating.
Difficulty in Treatment
It is very difficult to eliminate the habit of the intake of the drug. The permanent treatments are not so successful in case of the addicts. It has to be treated emotionally by insulting and under-estimating them or by giving severe punishments which in turn may result in psychological problems too.
Your life is in your hand. Enjoy it peacefully without the intake of this recreational drug to safeguard your health.

@Payday
Crack cocaine is highly addictive too. As rightly said, don’t get into the habit of taking it. Withdrawal would definitely involve resisting temptations which is really tough and painful.
Crack is the most heinous drug ever. Mnay years ago when I used and actually enjoyed pot there was a certain social aspect to getting high a mutual sharing and good will. Not with crack it is all about the user and what the user can get from whoever is closest. It is the worst thing I ever did and am glad to have that chapter of my life behind me. N.A. and a stay in the hospital got me on the right track
Drug addiction is a plague of 21st century. Personally, i have never taken drugs and will never do this mistake. However, one of my friends is a drug addict and he really looks horrible.
In spite of knowing the drawbacks and side effects of Cocaine,most of us are ready to get addicted to it… The recent study shows that there has been an increase in the market of Cocaine.
Why the people still do this? i can understand why they need this stimulation with all this side effects.
pocker
Coke doesn’t remain in the human body like marijuana does.
Drug testing for cocaine isn’t really very effective. MOst adicts can quit long enough to pass a drug test.
Meanwhile a marijuana smoker will have THC in their system for well over 30 days on up to 45 days.
Drug testing really does target the pot smokers. Marijuana smokers are usually non violent people and don’t deserve to be targeted the way they are.
By targeting pot smokers the US government has declared war on most of it’s own population. recent surveys prove that more people in the USA use cannabis than citizens that don’t use cannabis.
Honestly I would never see myself taking drugs. I know a few people who does it and they are in a very bad state needing a lot of help. What is worse is as they get a penny they spend it on drugs so they will never get better!
can not believe how people use drugs such as destructive, is incredible
Crack is bad and thanks for providing such useful information to educate all of us.

Really Drug addiction is very bad habit .I have lost my uncle due to this habit.So I hate Drugs.
Well what can I say about this addiction…its such a pity to look at those who are suffering from these addictions….there parents should keep a check from starting because kids are more prone in falling for drugs and marijuana…
So o nome ja da para perceber que eh uma droga mesmo! Mas muita gente usa com o proposito medicinal. No estado da California medicos receitam como remedio, claro que voce tem que ter uma carteira licensiada pelo governo, assim voce consegue comprar em lugares especilaizados e voce pode escolher o tipo que quiser de marijuana. Na minha opiniao, se fosse prejudicial a saude, medicos nao receitariam como um beneficio para a saude.
Drug testing really does target the pot smokers.
Cocain is not good for our young generation. We should make our world drug free.
Crack cocaine is the most harmful and strongest form of cocaine. It is harmful in both ways physically as well as mentally. So stay away from this.

I found your blog from google and read a few of your other posts. They are incredible. Please keep it up… have a nice day.
Crack is the street name given to the form of cocaine that has been processed to make a rock crystal, which, when heated, produces vapors that are smoked.
Although illegal drugs aren’t the greatest things to be addicted to, I think there are worse things like the addiction people have to foods and drinks. At least when someone is addicted to cocaine they KNOW it’s not doing them any good, but someone addicted to chocolate or caffeine doesn’t think of it being as that bad and even justifies it by discovering research that says “chocolate is good for you because it has antioxidants in it” etc etc

Im sure all you people that say that you have never used drugs Im sure you all have probably taken the drug that kills more people than any other drug every year and even kills people that are not even intoxicated due to the fault of somebody else if you still don’t know what drug I speak of I’ll fill you in “alcohol” and I bet everybody thinks this drug is acceptable cause its fully legal and that also destroys you and your family and maybe even kill a whole family on your way home from the bar so if you like to have a couple drinks your more dangerous than a someone thats smoking crack!! also if you have never done drugs than why are you looking at sites that contain information on drugs and you decide its a good idea to post your opinion on what others do to there body. you are just as much as a problem in this world as an alcoholic that just can’t keep it in there own lane if all of us that use drugs are losers the people that post there opinions on how bad of people we are, Are just as much of a loser by telling other adults how they should live there lives on a subject they have no clue about due to the fact that they have never done drugs and you people only really look at the worst case of what happens to some people not everybody ends up hurting people and ending up homeless but how many people that end up homeless and all they do is consume alcohol . These people should keep there opinion to themselves if you people still have the urge to tell people what you think have some kids and tell them !!!! and do us all a favor and keep you mouth shut and go back to watching cartoons!!! thanks for reading this and as soon as you see somebody posting that all drugs are bad and we are all losers if we use them and they say that they never tried any Drugs just stop reading what they have to say unless they are your doctor. if you never done any drugs your opinions on the subject and about other people are useless so don’t tell us anything we don’t know already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
