DRUGS Cocaine




Cocaine

Cocaine powder, freebase and crack are all forms of cocaine. They are stimulants with powerful, but short-lived, effects. Stimulants temporarily speed up the processes of your mind and body. ‘Freebase’ cocaine and ‘crack’ cocaine, can be smoked, and so can reach the brain very rapidly in high dosage. Snorted powder cocaine is absorbed more slowly. Hence, smoked freebase or crack tends to be much stronger and more addictive than snorted powder cocaine. However, all forms of cocaine prepared for injection (whether powder cocaine or crack) can also reach the brain rapidly in high doses and so can be very addictive too.

Slang: Street names for drugs can vary around the country. For powder cocaine – coke, Charlie, C, white, Percy, snow, toot. For crack – rocks, wash, stones, pebbles, base, freebase

  1. There is nothing wrong about taking drugs as long as you dont abuse them.They give you courage to do things you would never do when you are sober.Some people have used drugs for inhencement to build their careers,think of people like Amy Winehouse,Roby Williams,Britny Spears,the late Bob Marly,Peter Tosh,sport people like Dwein Chembers,Marian Jones just to mention a few.Some of them might not have done it if it was not of drugs.Now they have made their money and fame no one will take from them.
