Can you become addicted to cocaine?

Answer 1

Cocaine exists as a powder. It can be added to a drink to make it drinkable but under normal conditions, you cant drink a powder. People in South America chew on coca leaves and make coca tea from the same leaves. This acts like a stimulant more powerful than coffee. It is not the same or as strong as the refined cociane.

Answer 2

Anything is "addictive" in some sense. For example, people become "addicted" to gambling which has no physical substance at all. The National Institute on Drug Abuse ranked the addictive qualities of various drugs based on five criteria. Those criteria are: * Withdrawal -- The severity of withdrawal symptoms produced by stopping the use of the drug. * Reinforcement -- The drug's tendency to induce users to take it again and again. * Tolerance -- The user's need to have ever-increasing doses to get the same effect. * Dependence -- The difficulty in quitting, or staying off the drug, the number of users who eventually become dependent * Intoxication -- The degree of intoxication produced by the drug in typical use.
