Cocaine is considered a stimulant. The last time you had a cup of coffee you
experienced a legal, low dose of stimulation.
You probably also know that drinking too much caffeine makes you feel
jittery, or overly energetic. When you
ingest a stimulant it changes the way your brain works. This is a tiny example of what cocaine does to
the brain.
When one does cocaine they have gone to the “big leagues” of
stimulation. Not only is it illegal…duh,
but it is very dangerous as well.
Cocaine comes from the leaf of the coca plant. It is either inhaled as a white powder
through the nose or, in another form it is smoked when it is transformed into
another version known as “crack”.
