Cocaine and Crack-Cocaine use have been on the rise in the U.S. since 2013, at least partially due to it’s wide availability across the country.
The relationship to cocaine usually starts out as recreational use. However, Cocaine is one of the most addictive drugs due to the rapid progression of tolerance, where users quickly find they need to do more and more to get high. One of the most expensive substance abuse habits, Cocaine addiction often causes financial turmoil. This expense causes many users to turn to Crack-Cocaine instead of Cocaine, because it is cheaper.
Cocaine abuse can leave the user broke, isolated, and desperate. It can lead to organ problems and failure, chronic cognitive deficits like poor motor skills, confusion, impaired judgement, and loss of memory. Cocaine users are much more prone to domestic incidents, uncontrollable anger, and psychosis.
