Cocaine works by increasing levels of dopamine in the brain, which is a neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of pleasure and reward. This results in a temporary euphoric and energetic feeling, but also disrupts normal brain function.
Long-term use of cocaine can lead to changes in brain structure and function, as well as addiction and other mental health issues. It can also cause damage to blood vessels in the brain, increasing the risk of stroke.
When snorted, cocaine can reach the brain within minutes, leading to an almost immediate high. When injected or smoked, the effects may be even faster.
Yes, long-term use of cocaine can cause permanent changes to the brain, including damage to brain cells and changes in brain chemistry. This can lead to cognitive impairment, memory loss, and other mental health issues.
While some damage to the brain caused by cocaine use may be permanent, seeking treatment and abstaining from drug use can help prevent further damage and potentially reverse some of the effects over time.
