7 VII 7 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 cannot click linkwent through a proxyIs cocaine addictive?Yes, cocaine is both physically and psychologically addictive because of its interaction with the brain's dopamine levels. People develop tolerance to cocaine and greater quantities of the drug are needed to produce euphoric effects. In lab experiments, animals will continue to take cocaine until they kill themselves.it raises the dopamine levels but the body can function without it fine, which means they are not addicted to it... just addicted to the way they feel when they are on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo931 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 still wrong Dave.Cocaine blocks pain sensation and stimulates the central nervous system, producing a sudden increase in heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure. In the brain, it blocks the synaptic reabsorption of certain neurotransmitters (in particular dopamine). The resultant buildup of neurotransmitters causes pleasurable sensations to be passed along the neural pathways over and over again, creating a feeling of profound well-being, self-confidence, and alertness. It is accompanied by lack of hunger. The effect lasts for 10 to 30 minutes, and the user begins to crave more immediately as the neurotransmitter supply is exhausted. This pattern has led to cocaine's being described as “neuropsychologically addicting” in recognition that traditional definitions of physical vs. psychological addiction do not neatly fit in this case. Most cocaine addicts in treatment report some control over their use for the first two to four years, giving them the illusion that addiction will not develop.http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/sci/A0857408.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aequitas_Veritas Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 i think it is just sad... weed was such a HS drug yeah and the fact that thousands die from every drug (including alcohol and tabacco) except weed is pretty sad as wellrisking death and addiction is just for grownups. In cali people see weed for what it really is. A healthier and safer way to take a break then a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
