Tell A Friend

By Michael Roberts (about the author)     Page 2 of 2 page(s)

opednews.com     Permalink

These delusions are intense while using crack and lessen when not using. Because crack can make the person feel high artificially without the usual demands reality requires: like success, doing good, being acknowledged, etc, crack seems like a short cut to pleasure. The idea that crack cocaine improves life is the major LIE that crack users secretly hang onto. Users sometimes deny crack use and dependence and lie very convincingly to friends and family: as long as they can get more crack. Detox from crack cocaine requires a controlled environment away from the enticement of the drug.

When people mix cocaine and alcohol consumption, they are compounding the danger each drug poses and unknowingly forming a complex chemical experiment within their bodies. The human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, that intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects, while potentially increasing the risk of sudden death.

A WORD TO THE YOUTH: is this worth it? I think not.
