Inhalant users who use plastic bags to help themselves get high typically die from suffocation. Over a period of time, one will develop a tolerance for inhalants which, like that of hallucinogens, causes a need for more frequent exposure to, as well as greater amounts of, the substance to produce the same effect. This, of course, puts the user at greater risk for liver, lung, and kidney damage, brain and nervous system damage, and death. A physical dependence can result, as demonstrated by the withdrawal symptoms seen when a user tries to quit. Withdrawal symptoms include hallucinations, chills, delirium tremens, and stomach cramps.
Cocaine is a white powder that comes from the leaves of the coca plant.
It can be snorted through the nose or injected directly into the bloodstream. Cocaine is a stimulant which gives the user a feeling of limitless power and energy, but leaves one feeling depressed, edgy, moody, and desiring more of the drug. Crack is a derivative of cocaine that has been chemically altered so it can be smoked. Both are extremely addictive. The drugs dominate a user's entire life.
