How Cocaine Affects the Brain and Body
Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that floods the brain with dopamine, creating an intense but short-lived high. As tolerance builds, individuals often use more to chase that euphoric feeling, leading to dependence and addiction. Over time, this cycle strains the heart, damages the nervous system, and heightens the risk of overdose, especially when combined with other substances like fentanyl or alcohol.
