In 1997, an estimated 1.5 million persons from the U.S.(0.7 percent of those age 12 and older) were cocaine users currently, as per to the 1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). The number has stayed about the same since 1992, although it is a dramatic decrease from the 1985 peak of 5.7 million cocaine users(3 percent of the population). Based upon other data sources that take into account users underrepresented in the NHSDA, the Office of National Drug Control Policy estimates the number of chronic coke users at 3.6 million american.

Consequence of Cocaine Abuse

Cocaine usage has been linked to different types of heart disease. Coke has been found to trigger chaotic heart rhythms, called ventricular fibrillation; accelerate heartbeat and breathing; and increase blood pressure and raise body temperature. Physical symptoms may include chest pain, nausea, blurred vision, fever, muscle spasms, convulsions and coma.

Research has revealed a potentially dangerous interaction between coke and alcohol. Taken together, the two substances are converted by the body to cocaethylene. Cocaethylene has a longer length of action in the brain and is more toxic than either drug alone. While more research needs to be done, it is noteworthy that the mixture of coke and alcohol is the most common two-drug combination that results in drug-related death.
