Furthermore, if you are looking to get a job (or keep your current job), you’ll likely be subject to random drug testing. Those that use cocaine recreationally often realize that the drug is not worth the legal risk, financial costs, nor the deleterious long-term neurophysiological effects. Depending upon the modality in which cocaine is administered (snorting, injection, smoking) – the duration of effects can span from seconds to over an hour. Physical effects of cocaine usage tend to include: increased blood pressure, elevated body temperature, sweating, and pupil dilation. In addition to the temporary favorable psychological effects derived from cocaine usage, some potentially unfavorable effects include: agitation, anxiety, depersonalization, dissociation, drug-induced psychosis, and restlessness. These effects are primarily derived from cocaine’s ability to increase dopamine concentrations and stimulate the reward centers within the brain. Those that use cocaine feel an increased sense of pleasure, attain a pro-social effect (wanting to socialize), and quicker conversational wit (due to enhanced thought speed beta waves). Cocaine (benzoylmethylecgonine) is considered to be among the world’s most addictive drugs and is most often used on a recreational basis to achieve a dopaminergic euphoria.
