The news of a large amount of cocaine being found in a Nescafe has become a hot topic of concern. We all know that caffeine is a common ingredient in coffee, and that moderate amounts of caffeine can increase metabolism, relieve muscle fatigue and improve blood circulation. But when people hear about the unfamiliar cocaine they may associate it with drugs, drugs that can be addictive and euphoric. If you ask more about what exactly cocaine does to the human body, many people are unable to answer this question.
Cocaine, with the chemical name of benzyl blastine, is white crystal, odorless and bitter in taste. The raw material of cocaine is "coca". As a shrub, coca is a traditional crop in the American continent.
Although cocaine is a drug, it is used as an anaesthetic in medical treatment because of its good anaesthetic effect. Cocaine penetrates well and is mainly used for surface anaesthesia, but should not be injected due to its high toxicity. Cocaine has damaging effects on the digestive, immune, cardiovascular and genitourinary systems, especially as a dose-dependent hepatotoxin, which can lead to liver cell necrosis.
What are the symptoms after taking cocaine?
- Cocaine use can produce a strong psychological dependence. Initially, cocaine use can have a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, producing hallucinations and leaving the person addicted to the mental world. Long-term use can lead to psychiatric disorders, also known as cocaine psychosis. This is accompanied by personality abnormalities or delusional psychotic symptoms. Severe depression and lethargy may occur if use is suddenly stopped. Over time, the addict's heart rhythm increases, he or she becomes short of breath and, in severe cases, can simply die in the spirit world. In addition to this, hepatitis and HIV can be transmitted if taken through a needle.
