::Cocaine/crack
(charlie, C, snow, coke, toot,
rocks, stones)
Cocaine used to be the drug of
choice for rock stars and the rich, but recent price cuts and
increased imports have resulted in a massive rise in usage and
availability.
Delivering a quick and euphoric high, a blast of top quality coke
can make you feel like you've just scored the winning goal in a FA
Cup Final.
Confidence soars through the roof, the heart thumps out a
drum'n'bass crescendo, while you feel like you're on top of the
world.
Unfortunately the hit doesn't last very long (around 20-30 minutes)
and this encourages repeated - and wallet-crushing - doses. Smoking
cocaine can give you a stronger hit, but effects can wear off in as
little as 12minutes
Crack:
Is
cocaine baked into a small rock.
Usually smoked through
a water pipe, it produces a rapid, ultra-intense high which lasts
for about 2 minutes, followed by a pleasurable buzz which usually
lasts around 20 minutes before a long low or crash. Because the hit
is so strong, some people get hooked on the sensation and end up
blowing all their cash trying to repeat the high, or overdosing.
Crack has increased in popularity hugely in recent years, with both
clubbers and professionals regularly taking the drug.
Side
effects:
You
may well feel like a million dollars on coke, but to those around
you, you may well appear as an arrogant, loud arsehole with your
incessant gibbering and insincere waffling. And unless you've just
won the lottery, you'll find your bank balance tilting perilously
into the red - particularly if you get into crack.
