Cocaine is one of the most popular illegal drugs on the black market today. This incredibly addictive substance has several nicknames and is used by people from all demographics. Cocaine use can cause multiple health problems, some of them irreversible. Many users do not realize how addictive cocaine, often called coke or blow, can be until they are caught in the grips of addiction and realize that quitting is not as simple as they had believed it would be.
Cocaine can be consumed in several ways. The most popular is snorting it although a number of people are introduced to smoking it in a marijuana cigarette. In the mind of someone already on marijuana, this may mask the severity of their choice to add cocaine into their system. Often, addicts will search for ways to increase the feeling of getting high from cocaine. Increasing the amount consumed will do that as will switching to the intravenous method. Also, some addicts who do not want visible signs of their use may even choose to add the cocaine to something they are eating or drinking.
Unfortunately, no matter how the substance is ingested, it can have serious consequences for the user. Increased heart rates can lead to serious heart damage and has been responsible for many heart attacks and related deaths. Users also experience paranoia and brain damage. Often these consequences are not irreversible.
If someone has developed an addiction to cocaine, it probably will have a negative impact on their personal and professional relationships. Divorce and unemployment rates are far higher for those addicted to cocaine than the rest of the population. If you or someone you know has developed a cocaine problem, it is a good idea to seek professional help. This way, the entire addiction can be safely treated and, ideally, the addict can regain a normal life.
