It derives from the coca plant. It is found/used in different forms depending on the method of use. The two most common forms are the cocaine leaf and the familiar, white powdery form. According to the UXL Encyclopedia of Drugs and Addictive Substances, "Cocaine acts as both a STIMULANT and an ANESTHETIC" (Bigelow 2006).

The leaves from the coca plant are chewed with lime or "plant ash", the powder form of cocaine can also be snorted, mixed with water and injected, or smoked (Bigelow 2006). Different methods of using cocaine have different reactions/reaction times on the user. The quickest way to the brain is smoking. However, the most dangerous in injecting because it involves needles and putting the substance directly in the bloodstream (Bigelow 2006).

3.4% have used it it in the last year and 1.3% have used it in the last month.

Many artists are now mentioning cocaine in their songs. That might affect teens as they look up to those artists and cause them to try cocaine. Also, teens might try cocaine to see what its all about since its been talked a lot about in the media.

However, as people realized that cocaine gave some desirable highs, the use became centered around those highs (Bigelow 2006). Cocaine was also used in smaller doses to boost energy and focus, increase confidence, increase a feeling of control, and decrease appetite (Bigelow 2006).

It had a variety of uses, one of them being an anesthetic before proper anesthetics were developed (Bigelow 2006).
