WHAT IS COCAINE?

Cocaine is a white powder made from the leaves of the South

American Coca plant. Cocaine is a stimulant, meaning that when

taken into the body, high levels of dopamine is sent into the parts

of your brain that control pleasure. There are three types of

cocaine; ‘coke’ (fine white powder), ‘crack’ (small lumps or rocks)

and ‘freebase’ (crystallised powder).

HOW IS IT USED?

Most people who take cocaine will snort it.

Users often crush it into a fine powder,

divide it into lines and snort it through the

nose. When snorted, cocaine normally

takes around 5 - 30 minutes to kick in.

Powdered coke an crack can be prepared to

make a solution for injecting, which is much

more dangerous than snorting or smoking

cocaine. This methods is the least common

ways to take cocaine..
