Cocaine Use and the Body
As one of the most dangerous drugs in the world, what cocaine does to both the body and mind has been well documented.
However, there are many factors that can influence the precise nature of the long-term physical effects that cocaine has
on a user. Some of these factors include:

Timespan (the duration of the cocaine use)
Frequency of consumption
What type of cocaine (cocaine hydrochloride versus the freebase “crack” form of the drug)
How the drug was taken (whether it was snorted, smoked, or injected into a vein, as smoking cocaine makes the drug reach
the brain more quickly than snorting, giving users the immediate effect)
The average amount of cocaine consumed per dose
Individual biology, psychology and physiology, which can include current mental health status, family history, age, gender,
diet, the presence of other drugs, etc.
Among the long-term (and possibly permanent) effects of cocaine are a decrease in bone density and muscle mass, which can
lead to osteoporosis. Cocaine suppresses appetite, so much so that it can be a cause of, and a consequence of, eating disorders. The drug significantly changes the body’s metabolism, rendering fatty foods meaningless and giving addicts much less body fat than people who don’t use cocaine.
