Is there any sense on consuming a substance that will definitely harm an individual’s good health?
Definitely not. And what is worse is that the substance effects on the person will only last a few minutes, but its consequences will damage the person’s body, mind and surroundings (its social interactions, for example) for a long period of time. But today’s easy access to drugs and a not strong enough drug-free propaganda can lead a person to drug abuse. And unfortunately, cocaine is being used by more and more people today. No matter age or gender, its consumption is becoming usual by any social class, and its thought to be a recreational drug, taking it apart from the atrocities it does to anybody.
The effects of cocaine on the body usually stay from fifteen to twenty minutes. After this, more drug is needed to achieve the first “high”. But what the individual may not know is that after this “high”, no other will be the same. When cocaine is consumed, the brain releases greats amounts of a substance called dopamine. This is what makes the person euphoric and makes him or her feel great energy. After this effects are gone, the individual will feel low and even depressed, and more drug is needed. At this point, the brain will take some time to create dopamine to be released, and so no “high” will be like the first.
It can easily be concluded that cocaine consumption, just like any other drug, is simply pointless. With the mere action of using a substance that will do the body no good, the individual is guaranteeing long term negative effects in its life.
