Cocaine Description: Cocaine is a powerfully addictive drug that affects directly the brain. Coke has been labeled the Drug of the 1980s and '90s, cause of its popularity and usage for this period. However, Cocaine is not a "New Drug". In fact, it is one of the oldest known Drugs. The pure chemical, Cocaine hydrochloride, has been an abused drug for more than 100 years and coca leaves, the source of Coke, have been used for thousands of years. Pure Cocaine was first extracted from the leaf of the Erythroxylon coca bush, which grows primarily in Peru and Bolivia, in the mid-19th century. In the early 1900s, it became the main stimulant Drug used in most of the tonics/elixirs that were developed to treat a wide variety of illnesses. Today, Cocaine is a Schedule II Drug, meaning that it has high potential for abuse. There are two chemical forms of Cocaine: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The hydrochloride salt, or powdered form of Cocaine, dissolves in water and, when abused, can be taken intravenously (by vein) or intra nasally (in the nose). Freebase refers to a compound that has not been neutralized by an acid to make the hydrochloride salt. The freebase form of Cocaine is smokable. Cocaine is generally sold on the street as a fine, white, crystalline powder. Street cocaine dealers dilute it with such inert substances as cornstarch, talcum powder, and/or sugar, or with such active Drugs as procaine (a chemically-related local anesthetic) or with such other stimulants as amphetamines. Colombian and Mexican narcotic trafficking groups are the primary transporters and distributors of wholesale amounts of cocaine in New York. Dependence Is cocaine addictive?
