Abstract

In this study we try to explore the chemical aspects in the whole concept of cocaine in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on chemical compounds through which cocaine is composed of and its relation with on the chemical reactions that are caused in the human body by its utilization. The research also analyzes many social aspects of its use along with focusing on its negative affects and consequences in the human body and on the human health as well and tries to gauge its effect on society, as well. It also highlights the fact that, Cocaine is a highly addictive drug. Many addicts report that as we evolve tolerance; go incorrect to attain the affirmative consequences they skilled when they begun utilizing pharmaceuticals, so they start utilizing it more often and in higher doses. Cocaine users who inject the pharmaceutical reveal themselves to added dangers, encompassing that of contracting the human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B and C and other blood-borne virus.

When inhaled regularly can cause a loss of sense of smell; create nosebleeds, problems with swallowing, hoarseness, and general irritation of the nasal septum which can cause a chronic irritation and runny nose. When ingested cocaine can cause gangrene in the intestines by reducing blood flow. In addition, people who inject the drug, have puncture marks, often in the forearms. Those who use it in the veins may also experience allergic reactions to either drug or any of the components that add to cocaine on the street and sometimes these reactions can cause death. Cocaine tends to reduce food intake, therefore, regular use causes loss of appetite, weight and malnutrition. Research has shown that there is a potentially dangerous interaction between cocaine and alcohol. When used together, the body makes coca ethylene. The effect of coca ethylene in the brain is longer and more toxic than the drug when used alone. Although more studies are needed, you must take into account that the deaths caused by drugs, the most common are those caused by the combination of cocaine with alcohol Finally the research describes various diseases which are found in the body and health of individuals that are regular users of cocaine and it also tries to emphasize on making the individuals using this drug aware of its negative consequences and its effects on the human body as well.
