Episode Notes

What is cocaine?

Cocaine is a stimulant drug, which means that it speeds up the messages travelling between the brain and the rest of the body.

Cocaine comes from the leaves of the coca bush (Erythroxylum coca), which is native to South America.1 The leaf extract is processed to produce three different forms of cocaine:

• Cocaine hydrochloride: a fine white powder with a bitter, numbing taste.2 Cocaine hydrochloride is often mixed, or ‘cut’, with other substances such as lidocaine, talcum powder or sugar to dilute it before being sold.2
• Freebase: a white powder that is more pure with less impurity than cocaine hydrochloride.3
• Crack: crystals ranging in color from white or cream to transparent with a pink or yellow hue, it may contain impurities.3

Other names

C, coke, crack, nose candy, snow, white lady, toot, Charlie, blow, white dust or stardust.

Romans 12:1 King James Version
