Posted By WikiMap 2 months ago in News

Cocaine use for recreational purposes is still a huge problem in the United States, with approximately 2 million Americans using the drug on a regular basis. It is also one of the most addictive of the recreational drugs in use today and even those who have spent numerous months at an inpatient rehab often fall back into the habit as soon as they are returned to the “outside world.”

    Great story I am so happy to hear that addicts have chance at a more permanent sobriety.

      I wonder what a gram goes for nowadays? It must be expensive. How are addicts able to afford it?

      Of course, every drug use alters the brain: to one that's had the drug, or had it again. Reading this article has altered my brain from one that had no memory of it to one that does.

      The question is really if my MSG transporters are now "less sensitive" because their chemistry has been permanently altered.

        It doesn't say much for me I guess,But I dated two women in the past who had abused cocaine. Both suffered with the same after effects of depression and mental illness. One of them went in for surgery and after the doc got her hooked up to the monitor he said "Hey, you did coke didn't you?" It seems cocaine permanently changes the hearts wiring. Cocaine has bad, life long lasting eefects. Women are especially prone to using cocaine.Its a bad thing people. Stay away from it!

          Hey, Wisdom and intelligence be unto all who read about cocaine. The avenues of enjoyment in this world are far more enjoyable in other ways then cocaine, therefore, seek other avenues such as singing songs, playing instruments of music, dancing, shouting to God, studying God's word daily, seeking to help the needy, massage, exercising, jumping on trampoline, going to movies, and many other ways far supersede drug use which may ruin health and may put someone in jail. God be with you.

            All addictive substances make you not you.

            Avoid them.
