Houston Drug Charge Lawyer, Cocaine Effects, Attorney Andy Nolen

Cocaine affects your brain. The word "cocaine"
refers to the drug in both a powder (cocaine)
and crystal (crack) form. It is made from the coca
plant and causes a short-lived high that is
immediately followed by opposite, intense
feelings of depression, edginess, and a craving
for more of the drug. Cocaine may be snorted as
a powder, converted to a liquid form for injection
with a needle, or processed into a crystal form to
be smoked.

Cocaine affects your body. People who use
cocaine often don't eat or sleep regularly. They
can experience increased heart rate, muscle
spasms, and convulsions. If they snort cocaine,
they can also permanently damage their nasal
tissue.

Cocaine affects your emotions. Using cocaine can
make you feel paranoid, angry, hostile, and
anxious, even when you're not high.

Cocaine is addictive. Cocaine interferes with the
way your brain processes chemicals that create
feelings of pleasure, so you need more and more
of the drug just to feel normal. People who
become addicted to cocaine start to lose interest
in other areas of their life, like school, friends,
and sports.

Cocaine can kill you. Cocaine use can cause
heart attacks, seizures, strokes, and respiratory
failure. People who share needles can also
contract hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, or other diseases.
