Cocaine is a very powerful drug. It is extremely addictive and if used in a large quantity can be fatal. Every year many people die from cocaine use. Cocaine has caused society a very large problem ever since it began to be used as an illicit drug.

Before its illegal use began it was a pharmaceutical. Doctors used it in cough syrups to numb the throat. But what happened is people began to get addicted to the substance. They began to use it outside doctor's orders.

Cocaine traditionally comes in powdered form. It is a white powder that could be mistaken as flour. Drug users snort the drug into their nostrils. Once the drug is there it will seep into the blood stream of the user. The reason it can do this in the nose is because capillaries lie very close to the skin inside the nasal passage. The cocaine is ingested into the blood stream through the capillaries.

Once it is in the bloodstream it is carried to the brain. When it enters the brain a couple of reactions occur. First the brain begins to produce a large amount of endorphins. This then speeds up the heart rate. When this occurs the user begins to feel good. The feeling of euphoria starts to take over.

In most cases the user will automatically want more. This is when addiction starts. Once addiction has begun it is very hard for the user to go without cocaine for to long. In the end this will kill the user. They will use too much of the substance and their heart wont be able to handle it. They will go into cardiac arrest or have a heart attack and then will die.

Cocaine addiction either ends with sobriety or it ends in death. Crack cocaine, which was introduced in the eighties, has slimmed the chance of sobriety. People who are addicted to crack, which is a rock form of cocaine, and much more powerful than the powder, usually die not to long after they begin using the drug.
