Hallucinogen

How does it make you feel?

Taking cocaine can make you feel:

• happy
• excited
• wide awake
• confident
• on top of your game

It can also:

• make your heart beat faster
• raise your body temperature – so you feel hot
• stop you feeling hungry
• make you feel sick
• make you need to poo
• make you anxious and panicky
• make you paranoid
• make you so confident that you do things you wouldn’t normally do (which might be risky)

How does it make people behave?

Cocaine affects people differently, but most users become:

• chattier
• more animated
• more confident

Some people become:

• overconfident and arrogant
• agitated
• restless
• edgy

Cocaine can increase your sexual desires too, and some people take it to have more intense sex, but taking lots of cocaine can actually reduce your sex drive.

Generally speaking, a user’s sex drive should go back to normal once they stop taking cocaine excessively.
