         <description><![CDATA[<div>The chemical name for cocaine is benzoyl-methyl-ecgonine. Cocaine comes in two forms: hydrochloride salt or "base." The hydrochloride salt (white powder) form of cocaine is usually taken intranasally (which is known as snorting). However, It can also be dissolved in water and injected.The "base" forms of cocaine include any forms that are not neutralized by an acid to make the hydrochloride salt. Depending on the method of production, the base forms are called "freebase" or "crack.<br>In its base form, cocaine can be smoked because it melts at a much lower temperature than powdered cocaine. Crack is usually smoked, however, it can also be injected.</div><div><figure class="attachment attachment--preview" data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:94,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http://methoide.fcm.arizona.edu/images/mthM1T2S2_CrackCocaine.jpg&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:144}" data-trix-content-type="image"><img src="http://methoide.fcm.arizona.edu/images/mthM1T2S2_CrackCocaine.jpg" width="144" height="94"><figcaption class="attachment__caption"></figcaption></figure>Crack</div><div><figure class="attachment attachment--preview" data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:105,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http://methoide.fcm.arizona.edu/images/mthM1T2S2_CocaineStructure.gif&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:144}" data-trix-content-type="image"><img src="http://methoide.fcm.arizona.edu/images/mthM1T2S2_CocaineStructure.gif" width="144" height="105"><figcaption class="attachment__caption"></figcaption></figure>Cocaine's chemical structure</div><div><figure class="attachment attachment--preview" data-trix-attachment="{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:94,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;http://methoide.fcm.arizona.edu/images/mthM1T2S2_Cocaine1.jpg&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:144}" data-trix-content-type="image"><img src="http://methoide.fcm.arizona.edu/images/mthM1T2S2_Cocaine1.jpg" width="144" height="94"><figcaption class="attachment__caption"></figcaption></figure>Cocaine</div><div>Works Cited:<br>“Chemistry of Cocaine and Crack.” <em>MethOIDE</em>, The University of Arizona, methoide.fcm.arizona.edu/infocenter/index.cfm?stid=169.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>“The abuse of cocaine has become a major public-health problem in the United States since the 1970s. During that period it emerged from relative obscurity, when it was described by experts as a harmless recreational drug with minimal toxicity. By the mid-1980s cocaine use had increased substantially, and led to drug taking at levels that caused severe medical and psychological problems. Cocaine (also known as <em>coke, snow, lady, crack, andready rock</em>), is an alkaloid with both local anesthetic and psychomotor stimulant properties. Users generally take it in binge cycles, using it repeatedly within hours or days, alternating with periods of non-use. Many users are recalcitrant to treatment, and the substantial criminal penalties for possession and sale have not yet reduced its heavy use. In fact, information in 2007 from the Community Epidemiologic Work Group (CEWG, 2007) showed an increase in cocaine/crack use in several regions of the United States.”</blockquote><div>Works Cited (book):<br>"Cocaine." <em>Encyclopedia of Drugs, Alcohol &amp; Addictive Behavior</em>, edited by Pamela Korsmeyer and Henry R.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Typically, the brain releases a small burst of dopamine, and the brain cells pick up what they can in the few seconds that follow. Whatever isn’t picked up is the recycled by other brain tissues.</div><blockquote>Cocaine disrupts this pattern in two ways, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. First, it augments the amount of dopamine that’s released. That means people feel a bigger boost of pleasure and euphoria with cocaine than they might ever feel with natural methods. Everything is enhanced. Next, cocaine keeps dopamine from being recycled, so that happiness lasts longer. For some, it just goes on and on.<br><br>Unfortunately, those tweaks aren’t natural and normal, and the brain can adjust to them. That means people who use cocaine repeatedly may become immune to the power of cocaine. When they take it, they may not feel anything at all. In time, they may not feel any pleasure from the real world, either. They need the big stuff cocaine can deliver, and natural sources seem to do nothing at all.</blockquote><div>Works Cited:<br>“Addressing Cocaine Addiction &amp; Treatment Needs.” <em>American Addiction Centers</em>, americanaddictioncenters.org/cocaine-treatment/#How Cocaine Impacts the Mind and the Body.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Yes, yes we are.</div><blockquote>It's dangerous, shortens your life, and ruins your relationship. Cocaine is definitely not your friend. There is a very common notion among people across the world that addictive drugs are substances that make people feel drunk and sleepy, and interrupt their natural senses. Though this may be true especially for alcohol, this simply is not the case for cocaine, a very dangerous drug commonly used.<br>Cocaine is a white powder that comes from the coca plant grown in Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia. Coca plants were initially reserved for use by Inca royalty. The rest of the population eventually used coca plant leaves for mystical, religious, social, and medical purposes. They exploited its stimulant properties to ward off fatigue and hunger, enhance endurance, and to promote a sense of well-being.<br>The invading Spanish forced the Incan people to work hard in the fields. But the Spanish quickly learned that their captives could barely do work in the fields without chewing on the coca leaf (then referred to as the "gift of the gods"). Eventually the coca leaves were harvested and distributed to the Incan workers three or four times per day.</blockquote><div>Works Cited (database):<br>Hopkins, Gary.
