1. cocaine

   Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug derived from the leaves of the coca plant native to South America. It is often used recreationally for its euphoric and energizing effects. As a street drug, cocaine looks like a fine, white crystal powder. Cocaine works by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain, thereby increasing their concentrations. This leads to feelings of intense pleasure, increased energy and alertness. However, it is highly addictive and its misuse can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and mental disorders.

1. Cocaine

   Cocaine is a crystalline tropane alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves of the coca plant. The name comes from "coca" and the alkaloid suffix -ine, forming cocaine. It is a stimulant, an appetite suppressant, and a topical anesthetic. Biologically, cocaine acts as a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor, also known as a triple reuptake inhibitor. It is addictive because of its effect on the mesolimbic reward pathway. Unlike most molecules, cocaine has pockets with both high hydrophilic and lipophilic efficiency, violating the rule of hydrophilic-lipophilic balance. This causes it to cross the blood–brain barrier far better than other psychoactive chemicals and may even induce blood-brain barrier breakdown. It is controlled internationally by Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.

1. Cocaine

   An alkaloid ester extracted from the leaves of plants including coca. It is a local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor and is clinically used for that purpose, particularly in the eye, ear, nose, and throat. It also has powerful central nervous system effects similar to the amphetamines and is a drug of abuse. Cocaine, like amphetamines, acts by multiple mechanisms on brain catecholaminergic neurons; the mechanism of its reinforcing effects is thought to involve inhibition of dopamine uptake.

   The ER doctor called in the middle of the night and said,' Your son overdosed, and The ER doctor's dead.' Just that matter-of-fact, and I didn't believe The ER doctor at first. Then I just screamed and cried on the floor, and my husband took the phone, he got some heroin, and apparently it was laced with cocaine and fentanyl. I don't think that he knew that. He used it, he overdosed, and he died instantly. The ER doctor said The ER doctor probably didn't know it was laced with the cocaine and fentanyl.
