How Does It Feel to Get High on
Cocaine

Anyone who snorts, smokes or injects

cocaine gets high fast, and also gets addicted fast. Cocaine is one of the
world's most addictive and widespread drugs of abuse in the nation. It is a
strong nervous system stimulant, and it interferes with the re-absorption
process of dopamine, a chemical messenger associated with control over
pleasure and movement. In addition, cocaine interferes with the uptake of
norepinephrine and serotonin. All this leads to the accumulation of
neurotransmitters at postsynaptic receptors. The senses in other words, go
wild. A rush of euphoria bursts here and there while being high, but these
tend to shorten in length over time, as well as in lessen in strength.

The fact is, you can't really achieve the same high as your very first high
with cocaine. And when you continue to use, the body gets used to it. The
body then tolerates daily use, expecting this intake until finally each high is
lesser than the next, becoming dimmer and dimmer as the days go by.
Eventually, the user just needs it to get by, whether to eat, sleep, think, be
in social settings, work, and repeat. Chronic stimulation of receptors causes
the feeling of euphoria, which begins immediately upon use and entices
emotions and thoughts.

Cocaine when mixed with other substances is a recipe for disaster, often
amplifying its effects, such as increased heart rate. Cocaine mixed with
heroin to be injected is called a speedball; mixed with marijuana to be
smoked, it is called Turbo. Cocaine abuse in general may be linked to:
overall bad health condition, criminal behavior, disassociation, paranoia,
suppressed immune system, unstable personality, violent behavior, and
more. Addiction to cocaine can lead to unpredictable situations and events,
and who can forget that possession or use can result in jail time, staying on
your record for years to come.
