Cocaine is a powerful stimulant derived from the Coca plant and comes in a variety of forms.
Cocaine is legally classified in the U.S. as a Schedule II drug, meaning it has high abuse potential with limited recognized medical use. Cocaine is otherwise known as coke, snow, toot, blow, nose candy or crack. Cocaine produces a state of excitement or euphoria. It enhances alertness, heightens self-confidence and temporarily relieves depression. Cocaine suppresses appetite and relieves fatigue.
