From severe mental health problems, brain damage to heart attacks, the dangers of cocaine use are real. In general this might seem like a fun or thrilling experience, but each snort can have a devastating impact on your health and life.
This video is part of a videoseries on the Dangers of Illicit Drugs. Find the playlists here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaG3Bo3L0gX5LqgWoZVqRxEDa1hYcEYzl
The origin of cocaine:
It all starts with the indigenous people of South America, which chewed on the leaves of the coca plant for thousand of years. Through the Spanish conquistadors this plant spread all over Europe and through Europe, all over the world. If we fast forwards to the 19th century, scientists were able to extract cocaine out the plant. This substance was thought of as a medicine, which supposedly could almost cure all problems and diseases. Not really. And ultimately, we arrived in the late 20th century, where cocaine starts to be used as a recreational drug; often called “blow,” “coke,” and “crack”.
Statistics:
Approximately 14% of all adults in the United States has tried cocaine. And about 8% of all men ages 18-25 have used it the past 12 months.
How does it work?
Cocaine stimulates the reward pathway in our brain. The deep areas of the brain that also light up when you are eating a delicious meal or enjoying a video game. It works by blocking the reabsorption of dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline. This creates to a higher concentration of those neurotransmitters in the reward pathways of your brain.
The "positive" effects:
Among others: increased alertness, euphoria, increased energy, increased feelings of competence and increased sexual arousal or libido.
The "negative" effects:
Among others: depression after a binge-crash cycle, anxiety, mood swings, delusions, hallucination, paranoia, restlessness, increase in risky behaviors, violent behavior, a fast heart rate, high blood pressure, dilated pupils, damage to your nasal passage, loss of smell, difficulties swallowing, chronic runny nose, hoarseness and constriction of blood vessels supplying blood to your heart or brain.
Longterm effects:
Among others: heart attacks, Cardiac arrhythmias, Strokes,Seizures, Permanent damage to the lungs, Perforation of the nasal cavities, Ulcers, Perforation of the stomach and intestines, Rhabdomyolysis, Decreased libido, abscesses and ultimately there is a high chance of death.
Withdrawal symptoms:
Among others: Exhaustion and fatigue, anhedonia, decreased concentration, depression, anxiety, craving for coke, pain, tremors, shakiness and chills.
All together, these symptoms are highly unpleasant, but cocaine withdrawal symptoms are RARELY medical emergencies. So you can do it. You can quit.
Overdose:
An overdose of coke may lead to; seizure, loss of awareness, loss of urine control, high body temperature, severe sweating, high blood pressure, a very fast heart rate, bluish color of the skin, fast breathing and ultimately death.

N4.4billion worth cocaine seized at Lagos airport as NDLEA grills 30 suspects
.. Intercepts UK, UAE, Australia-bound cocaine, cannabis, tramadol concealed in body cream containers, Art work
The bid by members of an international drug syndicate that operates between Brazil, Ethiopia and Nigeria to smuggle into Lagos a total of 845 wraps of cocaine weighing 18.72 kilograms has been thwarted and the consignments recovered by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja.
The drug consignments worth Four Billion Four Hundred and Ninety-Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand Naira (N4,492,800,000) in street value were recovered from two lavatories of an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft during the post landing cleaning of the cabin of flight ET900 from Addis Ababa to Lagos on Tuesday 29th October 2024.
The illicit drug consignments were wrapped in nine polythene bags and hidden in the waste collectors in the two rear lavatories of the aircraft, from where they were recovered after the MMIA Strategic Command of NDLEA was alerted about the strange objects. No fewer than 30 suspects have so far been grilled in connection with the seizure.
Investigations revealed that the seized drugs were conveyed from Brazil to Ethiopia through ingestion and excreted in Addis Ababa by a set of couriers while some other traffickers picked them up and attempted to smuggle them into Nigeria through the Lagos airport before their attempt was frustrated with the cooperation of the airline’s authorities and other airport stakeholders.
In the same vein, attempts by some drug trafficking syndicates to export 2.928kg cocaine, cannabis and tramadol 225mg concealed in body cream containers, and pieces of art work to Australia, United Arab Emirate and United Kingdom through some courier companies in Lagos were also blocked by NDLEA officers of the Directorate of Operations and General Investigation, DOGI, on Monday 28th October.
At the Apapa seaport in Lagos, NDLEA operatives on Tuesday 29th October intercepted 754, 000 pills of tapentadol and acetaminophen 225mg worth Five Hundred and Twenty-Five Million Naira (N525, 000,000) in a targeted and watch-listed container from India during a joint examination with men of Customs Service and other security agencies.
While commending the officers and men of MMIA, DOGI, Apapa, Kogi, FCT, Adamawa, Katsina, Kaduna, Ondo, Taraba, and Edo Commands of the Agency for the arrests and seizures of the past week, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) also applauded their compatriots in all the commands across the country for intensifying the WADA sensitization lectures and advocacy messages to every part of their areas of responsibility.
