Cocaine is a drug which directly affects the brain. Its action on the body is instant and the effects disappear within a few minutes. Small amounts of cocaine usually make the user feel energetic and mentally active. It can also decrease hunger and sleep. Repeated and increasing use of cocaine leads to a state of restlessness and paranoia. This may result in paranoid psychosis.
Regularly inhaling cocaine can lead to loss of sense of smell and a chronically inflamed nose. Intravenous injection of cocaine may cause an allergic reaction, which can result even in death.
