• Made from coca leaves.– Coca is grown most in South America,
specifically Colombia.

In the Past…

… And Now• Cocaine is a Schedule II
drug under the US Controlled Substances Act– Has a high potential for
abuse– Causes dependence– Has some medical uses– Other: morphine,
oxycodone, PCP

Short-Term Effects• Cocaine is a stimulant.
– Increase physical activity– Increase heart rate, body
temperature, and blood pressure
– More alert– Elevated mood– Decrease hunger and sleep
• Other stimulants: caffeine, nicotine, meth, Adderall

Withdrawal• After someone uses cocaine,
they can experience withdrawal – Vivid, unpleasant dreams– Depression– Disturbed sleep cycle– Tiredness– Increased appetite– Agitation
• People will sometimes take the drug again to avoid these withdrawal effects

Long-Term Effects• Addiction• Tolerance
– Need more cocaine to get the same high
• Unhealthy weight• Nose bleeds and decay• Can lead to seizures,
heart attack, stroke, coma, or death

The Brain And Reward• The brain is pre-wired with a
“pleasure center” to give feelings of reward.
• Behaviors like eating and sex activate this area since they are important for survival.
• Drugs hijack this area to cause extreme feelings of reward.
• This causes cravings and addiction.

Neurons• Neurons are the cells that make up the brain and spinal cord• They talk to each other across synapses using chemicals called
neurotransmitters.• Neurons use DOPAMINE to communicate reward.

The Synapse• The first neuron releases neurotransmitters into the synapse.• Neurotransmitters bind like a lock and key to receptors on
second cell.• This changes the second cell and it can send the message to
other cells.
Cell 1
Cell 2
Neurotransmitters
Receptors

Neurotransmitter Recycling1. Release of
neurotransmitter from Cell 1
2. Binding of neurotransmitter to Cell 2
3. Recycling of neurotransmitter back into Cell 1
4. Repeat

Now with Cocaine…

Dopamine = Reward• If dopamine can’t
get recycled back into cell 1, it can bind again and again to cell 2.
• A lot of dopaminemeans a lot of pleasurable and rewarding feelings.

Why is this Bad?• When the brain feels rewarded
from drugs, it says “that was good for me, do it again.”
• But the brain has been tricked by the drugs; the drugs are actually harming the brain and body.
• This causes drug-seeking behavior and more harm to the brain and body.

Treatment• There is no “cure” for cocaine
addiction.• Relapse is common.• Treatment plans are made
specifically for the individual and include many aspects.
• Therapy, rehab, and support groups are helpful.
• Addiction is a chronic disease and must be treated continually.
