> I want to know what the symptoms of cocaine use are

Ask and ye shall receive:

“Cocaine’s effects appear almost immediately after a single dose, and disappear within a few minutes or hours. Taken in small amounts (up to 100 mg), cocaine usually makes the user feel euphoric, energetic, talkative, and mentally alert, especially to the sensations of sight, sound, and touch. It can also temporarily decrease the need for food and sleep. Some users find that the drug helps them to perform simple physical and intellectual tasks more quickly, while others can experience the opposite effect.

Short-Term Symptoms of Cocaine Use:
- Increased energy
- Decreased appetite
- Mental alertness
- Increased heart rate
- Increased blood pressure
- Constricted blood vessels
- Increased temperature
- Dilated pupils

The duration of cocaine’s immediate euphoric effects depends upon the route of administration. The faster the absorption, the more intense the high. Also, the faster the absorption, the shorter the duration of action. The high from snorting is relatively slow in onset, and may last 15 to 30 minutes, while that from smoking may last 5 to 10 minutes

The short-term physiological effects of cocaine include constricted blood vessels; dilated pupils; and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. Large amounts (several hundred milligrams or more) intensify the user’s high, but may also lead to bizarre, erratic, and violent behavior. These users may experience tremors, vertigo, muscle twitches, paranoia, or, with repeated doses, a toxic reaction closely resembling amphetamine poisoning. Some users of cocaine report feelings of restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. In rare instances, sudden death can occur on the first use of cocaine or unexpectedly thereafter. Cocaine-related deaths are often a result of cardiac arrest or seizures followed by respiratory arrest.

The Long-Term Effects of Cocaine Use

Cocaine is a powerfully addictive drug. Once having tried cocaine, an individual may have difficulty predicting or controlling the extent to which he or she will continue to use the drug. Cocaine’s stimulant and addictive effects are thought to be primarily a result of its ability to inhibit the reabsorption of dopamine by nerve cells. Dopamine is released as part of the brain’s reward system, and is either directly or indirectly involved in the addictive properties of every major drug of abuse.

Long-Term Symptoms of Cocaine Addiction
- Irritability
- Mood disturbances
- Restlessness
- Paranoia
- Auditory hallucinations

An appreciable tolerance to cocaine’s high may develop, with many addicts reporting that they seek but fail to achieve as much pleasure as they did from their first experience. Some users will frequently increase their doses to intensify and prolong the euphoric effects. While tolerance to the high can occur, users can also become more sensitive (sensitization) to cocaine’s anesthetic and convulsant effects, without increasing the dose taken. This increased sensitivity may explain some deaths occurring after apparently low doses of cocaine.”

The communists ALWAYS sense weakness.

How right you are! All the hoopla about how the socialist foreign countries and their dictators adored Obama was true. They adored the thought that they might have a naive, cowardly man to push around and trick so easily. So they promoted him, courted him, praised him...knowing his weaknesses. The press and Americans fell for it...Obama is a "Uniter," he can rule the world...blah, blah.

Oh, yes, now they will all be willing to talk with him , and Obama will do so "without preconditions," as he said. They will say it is leading to better understandings between countries, blah, blah, blah. Obama is who they were waiting for alright. They will smooze him and pacify him to evade his, Congress's and the idle media members' suspicions.

Everyone will think it is all hunky-dorey, kissy-kissy between the White House and the enemies of the U.S. Meanwhile they'll be building up their home arsenals and continuing to populate their hidden terrorist camps with their fanatics in the U.S. Then they will lower the boom! One morning we will wake up and the majority of the US public will complain and wonder: How did this happen? Where were our leaders? Why didn't they protect us? Etc. The change we can believe in will have happened.

I read on FR either a statement or question that they were celebrating in the Arab countries at the news of Obama’s win, like in Kenya - like after 9-11. Does anyone know if that is true??

[Know et al]

After all, he did say he was going to change the world. It is definitely achangin’.

[do the dhue]

Yes, I believe this to be true.
