Cocaine, the most potent stimulant that has a natural source, is taken from the leaves of the cocoa plant from the Andean highlands of South America. It is an alkaloid, a member of the chemicals that includes nicotine and caffeine. Today, cocaine sold on the street in Ontario often has 50 percent or lower purity. Cocaine is a schedule II drug, meaning that it has a very big risk of abuse and addiction.
A 2001 survey of Ontario students in grades 7 and higher reported that:
- 4.3 % had used cocaine at least once.
- 2 % had used crack cocaine at least once in the past year.
A 2000 survey of Ontario adults reported that:
- 6.4 % had used cocaine at least once.
- 1.2 % had used it in the past year.
Who uses cocaine?
- In 2005, about one Ontario student in 20 (4.4%) in grades 7 to 12 admitted they had used cocaine at least once in the last year. This is nearly 43,000 students.
- Cocaine consumption is approximately the same in male students (4.5%) and females (4.3%).
- Approximately one Ontario student in 50 (2%) admitted they had used crack at least once in the past year. This is approximately 19,300 students.
- Cocaine and crack consumption among students dropped during the 1980s, but since 1993 it has been increasing again.
- Cocaine consumption differs by grade.
Consumption is the lowest among grades 7 and 8 students (about 2%) and more elevated among those in grades 11 and 12 (about 7%).
- In 2000, nearly one in 15 Ontario adults (6.4%) admitted they had used cocaine at least once.
- Over one percent of Ontario adults said they had consumed cocaine in the past year
Pregnancy
Studies demonstrate that the effects of cocaine consumption during pregnancy may cause bleeding, miscarriage, premature labor, and stillbirth. Cocaine raises the heart rate in both the mother and baby, and the supply of blood and oxygen to the baby is decreased. This signifies that the baby is more likely to be small and grow slowly both before and after birth. If cocaine is consumed close to birth, the baby may be born intoxicated, demonstrating symptoms of hyperactivity and agitation. Withdrawal symptoms such as sleepiness and lack of responsiveness can happen in the babies of mothers who consume cocaine regularly. To date, the study as to whether kids of mothers who use cocaine experience any long-term mental or physical effects is inconclusive. Certain studies suggest that malformations of the genito-urinary tract, heart, limbs, and/or face occur in the babies of women who use cocaine.
