Cocaine misuse dynamics.The point is, it may not matter how it’s administered, the effects remain the same
Cocaine misuse dynamics: Effects of using cocaine
I believe this is not the first time you are hearing of cocaine misuse dynamics. Cocaine is very dangerous and addictive. Though illegal cocaine usage dynamics is not new to us as it is almost readily available on the streets and can easily be accessed by those who need it. And just like we have mentioned, experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the leadership of Doctor Dalal Akoury reiterates that cocaine is a powerful and addictive stimulant drug. It is normally extracted from the leaves of the coca plant native to South America. The cocaine extracts normally come in two forms e.g. powder and crack.
Cocaine misuse dynamics: Powder cocaine
This is a white powder and scientifically known as the hydrochloride salt. Because it is an illegal substance, it is mainly smuggled in the streets and the street dealers often mix it with other substances like cornstarch, talcum powder, or sugar. Besides that, for it to serve its purpose effectively, street dealers also mix cocaine with active drugs like procaine. Remember that procaine is a chemical that produces local anesthesia. Why do they need this ingredient? It is because a local anesthetic causes one not to feel pain in a specific area of the body. This is helpful to their final consumers who may suffer signs of withdrawal symptoms and this chemical will be able to address that effect. The powder cocaine can also be mixed with other stimulants like amphetamines.
When cocaine is in powder form it can only be administered into the body either through snorting or injection. For it to be injected the powder needs to be mixed with water and the solution injected using a needle.
Cocaine misuse dynamics: Crack
Crack cocaine comes after processing. It is the final product of the powder cocaine mixed with ammonia and sometimes mixed with soda and water. This mixture is then heated to produce the cocaine crystals. It is the crystals that are being smoked by users as the final product. And if you are wondering of where the name crack came from, every time crack cocaine is subjected to some heat, it normally produces some cracking sound from the burning rocks or crystals. It is from that experience that the term crack is derived.
Now that we have the final product, who is it administered into the body? Doctor Akoury says that crack cocaine is administered into the body through smoking normally using a small glass pipe. The process is simple as the crystal is heated to produce vapors that are absorbed into the blood through the lungs.
Finally, whichever method of administration used, the effects of cocaine will still be negative to the body. In most cases, users keep using more and more of the drug to keep the high experience. This can be very dangerous and corrective measures needs to be taken. If you or anyone you know is struggling with cocaine addiction, you can call doctor Akoury today and book an appointment with her for the commencement of your recovery process.
