Facts

  • Nearly 83% of individuals arrested in 2002 for crimes related to crack cocaine were African-American.
  • When people mix cocaine and alcohol the dangers associated with the use of these substances are compounded, and the human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects while also increasing the risk of sudden death.
  • When ingested orally, users will feel the effects within 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Although the euphoric effects of cocaine on the user dissipate within minutes or hours of use, the "come down" or cocaine withdrawal can be felt for much longer.
