| Cocaine: | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Cocaine
stimulates the central nervous system. Its immediate effects include
dilated pupils and elevated blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate,
and body temperature. Occasional use can cause a stuffy or runny nose,
while chronic use can ulcerate the mucous membrane of the nose. Injecting
cocaine with contaminated equipment can cause AIDS, hepatitis, and other
diseases. Preparation of freebase, which involves the use of volatile
solvents, can result in death or injury from fire or explosion. Crack or freebase rock is extremely addictive, and its effects are felt within 10 seconds. The physical effects include dilated pupils, increased pulse rate, elevated blood pressure, insomnia, loss of appetite, tactile hallucinations, paranoia and seizure. The use of cocaine can cause death by cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. |

| Marijuana: | |||||||||||||||||||||
| All
forms of cannabis have negative physical and mental effects. Several
regularly observed physical effects of cannabis are a substantial increase
in the heart rate, bloodshot eyes, a dry mouth and throat, and increased
appetite. Use of cannabis may impair or reduce short-term memory and comprehension, alter sense of time, and reduce ability to perform tasks requiring concentration and coordination, such as driving a car. Motivation and cognition may be altered, making the acquisition of new information difficult. Marijuana can also produce paranoia and psychosis. Because users often inhale the unfiltered smoke deeply and then hold it in their lungs as long as possible, marijuana is damaging to the lungs and pulmonary system. Marijuana smoke contains more cancer-causing agents than tobacco smoke. Long-term users of cannabis may develop psychological dependence and require more of the drug to get the same effect. The drug can become the center of their lives. |
