Cocaine Facts

cocaine factsCocaine is an illegal street drug that goes by many names, and has different forms. Names on the street for cocaine include toot, coke, snow, powder, rock, crack, flake, white pony, and many others. This drug originates from the coca plant, which is native to South America, and can be used in powdered, rock, or liquid form. Cocaine is classified as a stimulant, because it causes the central nervous system to speed up, and the drug can be very highly addictive. The powdered form is snorted, and is usually cut with other substances, including cornstarch, sugar, flour, vitamins, formula, and even baby laxatives.
