Rates of cocaine use by college students over the previous 5 years has varied between 2.0% of all students in 1994 to 4.8% in 2000.
Up to 75% of people who try cocaine will become addicted to it. Only one out of four people who try to quit will be able to without help.
Cocaine raises body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure. Even one use causes heart palpitations or cardiac arrest.
Cocaine is generally sold on the street as a fine, white, crystalline powder, known as "coke," "C," "snow," "flake," or "blow."

Cocaine
Withdrawal 
Cocaine addiction can occur
very quickly and be very difficult to break. Animal studies have shown that
animals will work very hard (press a bar over 10,000 times) for a single injection
of cocaine, choose cocaine over food and water, and take cocaine even when this
behavior is punished. Animals must have their access to cocaine limited in order
not to take toxic or even lethal doses. People addicted to cocaine behave similarly.
They will go to great lengths to get cocaine and continue to take it even when
it hurts their school or job performance and their relationships with loved
ones.
Regular use of cocaine can lead to strong psychological dependence (addiction).
Those who abruptly stop their cocaine use can experience cocaine addiction withdrawal
symptoms as they readjust to functioning without the drug. The length of cocaine
addiction withdrawal varies from person to person and on the amount and frequency
of use.
Cocaine addiction withdrawal
symptoms include but are not limited to:
- agitation
- depression
- intense craving for the
drug
- extreme fatigue
- anxiety
- angry outbursts
- lack of motivation
- nausea/vomiting
- shaking
- irritability
- muscle pain
- disturbed sleep
