Harmful effects of drugs
Cocaine is BAD
SHORT-TERM EFFECTS :-
Cocaine causes short-lived intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite—intense feelings of depression and edginess and a craving for more of the drug. People who use it often don’t eat or sleep properly. They experience great increased heart rate, muscle spasms and convulsions. The drug can make people feel paranoid, angry, hostile and anxious.
LONG-TERM EFFECTS:
Cocaine can cause irritability, mood disturbances, restlessness, paranoia. Tolerance to the drug develops so that more is needed to produce the same “high”.
The drug causes severe depression, which becomes deeper and deeper after each use. This can get so severe that a person will do almost anything to get the drug—even commit murder..
