This drug is the most addictive and hardcore drug of them all. According to National Institute on Drug Abuse, the most effective way to get this drug into your system is to snort it through the nose and the nasal tissue will absorb the elements and get into your blood stream. Ladies and gentlemen, the 1st most dangerous drug is cocaine. Based on its popularity and its risk, cocaine is the causes of the most health issues out of all the other drugs. It is a drug that stimulates the human body and that creates the stage of addiction. It gets its name by the plant coca, the leaves of the plant creates the feeling of power and strength however it doesn't last for a long time.
Cocaine has many effect on the brain. It increases the level of neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain, which affects the level of pleasure. Usually dopamine sends pleasure to the body then it gets recycled, however, when someone injects the substance in their system, that prevents the dopamine of being recycled, thus creating a feeling of stimulation throughout the body. After being used over and over again, the user will start to increase the dosage to seek more pleasure from the drug. This could lead to psychological problems and over dosage.

Another way to get cocaine into the system is to dissolve it in water and inject it into the blood stream. Cocaine users can get HIV because of the use of infected needles. Some minor effects are constricted blood vessels, dilated pupils, increase in temperature and increase of heart rate. The people who snort cocaine can lose sense of smell, receive nose bleeds and problems with swallowing. Some serious problems are that users can go into cardiac arrests and cause heart attacks. Since 2001 there was a 41% increase in deaths from this drug. Therefore, if you want to live a good life and being able to smell things, don`t ever try cocaine!

The problem with each and every single one of these drugs is that once someone starts taking them, they eventually start increasing their regular doses because their bodies develope an immunity to it. Therefore, these drug addictions invetitably cause death among the users of it. I believe that this should be something that is avoided by everyone because clearly, it is no good for anything other than killing.
ReplyDeleteHunter this is freaking crazy! I never understood why people did coke in the first place, I always found it to be insanely dangerous also it is so expensive so I really don't get the point. When people start it they can't stop, because as you said it makes them feel strong some would say on top of the world. I never knew there were that many ways to insert cocaine into your system thanks so much for informing about this terrible drug. Never would I ever do cocaine :(
ReplyDeleteits no secret that everyone knows about coke and talks about it but i dont think teenagers understand how dangerous this drug actually is. teens should realize that this is not a joke and drugs like these actually ruin peoples lives. so shoutout to you hunter for putting a spotlight on this topic and showing the dangers. really loved this post keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteO M G. That is crazy. I never understood drugs. Ive also never tried them . So maybe it is true, you wont fully understand something untill you have experienced it. Drugs are TOTALLY S C A RY, and Not okay. This blog is a great way to inform people of all the affect of this drug and how to get the job done.
ReplyDeleteWow cocaine looks cool, too bad it's really bad for you. Good thing you explained everything that's wrong with it and the risks that come with taking it. That sure was a close one, if I still sided with my first statement I could of got HIV. Thanks Hunter!
ReplyDeleteAddictions are truly a terrifying prospect. Some people say that you can get addicted to videogames, binge watching shows, etc. Would you say such things fall in the same category as drugs, or is it not at all the same thing?
ReplyDeleteA few issues:
- Spelling/ grammar (Run-ons, forme, “help they get back on the right track”, etc.)
- Your unique opinion is rarely clear or is vague in your posts.
