    Derived
    Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug that comes from the leaves of the South American coca plant.

    Description
    Cocaine is a white powder that people either snort or dissolve and inject with a needle.

    Use
    Cocaine, at first, makes people feel energetic and powerful. As these feelings wear off, however, they quickly become depressed and edgy—and they start really craving more to get their high back.

    Dangers and Effects
    Cocaine is among the most addictive drugs out there. Not only can it harm your body, it can mess up your life to the point where all that matters is your next fix. Being high on cocaine often results in violence, car crashes, falls, burns, and drowning. Cocaine can also make you violent or even make you do bizarre repetitive motions. Some users sit and repetitively draw doodles or, in severe cases, pick at their skin over and over to try to get the bugs out they think are underneath. People addicted to cocaine often do risky things they later regret. They may spend all their cash on cocaine, and do any number of other things to support their habit. In their pursuit to feed the crack and cocaine addiction, users hurt the people around them and often end up alone.
