What are the short/long term effects and what does the drug do to your body?
Short term effects: The short term effects consist of an extreme high for a very short period of time, followed by an extreme low, leaving the user wanting more and more cocaine to try to fill the gap that has been create. But the person taking the drug is actually just digging them self into a deeper hole thus worsening the cycle.
Long term effect: As a person becomes more and more tolerant to cocaine they are able to intake more and more of the drug. They try to take as much as it takes to relive the first high. The higher the dose the person takes, the more intense the depression after the high becomes, typically driving the user into deep depression and in extreme cases even suicide. Long term effects on the body are extremely damaging including long term mental, emotional and physical issues.
