HOW DOES COCAINE
MAKE YOU FEEL?
www.thezoneplymouth.co.uk
As cocaine is a stimulant, high levels of dopamine gets sent to
the brain. This build up causes intense feelings of energy and
alertness, which last for a short period (see ‘Your experience on
ketamine depends on...’ for different factors that can affect this).
Due to cocaine’s short lasting high of approximately 20 - 30
minutes , users are likely to take more of the substance in a
smaller time frame or combine them with other substances to
endure a longer high. This puts the user at risk of overdosing and
/ or building up a quick tolerance to the drug (see ‘Cocaine
Addiction and Dependency’ for more information).
