Cocaine

Cocaine is a powerful and illegal stimulant drug derived from the coca plant. It affects the central nervous system by increasing levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that controls pleasure and reward.

Cocaine creates a temporary feeling of euphoria, heightened energy, and alertness, but it also constricts blood vessels, raises heart rate and blood pressure, and can lead to dangerous health effects.

Prolonged use can cause addiction, anxiety, paranoia, heart attacks, strokes, and severe damage to various organs, including the heart and brain.
