Cocaine: A Detailed Description
Chemical Name: Benzoylmethylecgonine
Common Names: Coke, blow, crack, snow, flake, yayo
Drug Class: Stimulant (Schedule II in the U.S.)
Overview
Cocaine is a powerful central nervous system stimulant derived from the leaves of the coca plant (Erythroxylum coca), native to South America. It is most commonly found as a white, crystalline powder, although it also exists in a solid, rock-like form known as crack cocaine, which is designed for smoking.
Mechanism of Action
Cocaine works by blocking the reuptake of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain. This results in an intense accumulation of these chemicals in the synaptic cleft, leading to:

Medical Use
Despite its high potential for abuse, cocaine has limited medical uses. As a Schedule II controlled substance, it is occasionally used as a topical anesthetic in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) procedures due to its numbing properties and ability to constrict blood vessels.

History
Cocaine has been used for thousands of years by indigenous South American cultures. It was isolated from coca leaves in the 19th century and was once a common ingredient in tonics and early formulations of products like Coca-Cola. It was also famously endorsed by Sigmund Freud for its stimulating effects before its addictive properties were fully understood.
