How long does cocaine affect your body?
335255
The amount of time any drug can be detected in one's system can vary from person to person and test to test. It certainly can also depend on the amount of the drug taken and when it was taken relative to the time of the test. Keeping in mind that there is no 100% hard and fast rule for how long a drug will be in one's system, Cocaine can stay in your system for approximately 5 days\n\nYour whole drug history is stored in your hair until it is cut. Some types of shampoo and bleaching of hair may remove drugs from the hair.

Toxicology screens (drug testing) done on blood and urine specimens can reveal the presence of many chemicals and drugs in the body. The sensitivity depends upon the sensitivity of the test, the substance itself, when the substance was taken, and the testing laboratory. Blood tests are more likely to detect the presence of an abused substance than urine tests, however, urine drug screens are more frequently done. Opiates and narcotics are usually present in the urine 12 to 36 hours after the last use, depending on the amount used and the frequency. Central Nervous System stimulants such as cocaine can be detected in urine anywhere between 1 to 12 days, again depending in frequency of use. Central Nervous System depressants such as Valium and Xanax are detected up to 7 days after the last day of use, mostly depending on the substance used and how quickly it is eliminated by the body (half-life). Most hallucinogens are also detectable in the urine up to 7 days after the last use. However, cannabis can be detected up to 28 days in regular users. This is only a really rough guide and each person eliminates (gets rid of a substance) at different rates and many factors can influence a test result including how regularly the drug was used. It is impossible to predict whether or not a drug may be present in your bodily fluid or whether the test used will be sensitive enough to detect it.

Because cocaine actually causes a chemical reaction in the brain, gradually reducing seretonin (the pleasure chemical that tells you when you have had enough of something like when you eat, tells your body you don't need any more food when you are full)until you get to the point where your body thinks that the only thing that will satisfy all of its needs and cravings is the cocaine...evil shh--ite!

Alcohol and cocaine both depresses the respiratory drive and the person is prone to aspiration (getting food or fluid into the lungs). Cocaine also cause involuntary muscle contractions as well as myocardial infarction ( a heart attack). This is a simplified excerpt from emedicine which shows you that cocaine causes the following:\n\nA.Central nervous system and neuromuscular system\n   1. Headache: Cocaine use commonly results in headaches. Cocaine may trigger migraine headaches, but, most importantly, the headache may be secondary to complications of cocaine use such as strokes, subarachnoid hemorrhage, meningitis, brain abscess, and vasculitis. \n\n2.Seizures: Cocaine-related seizures usually are due to a hyperadrenergic state and usually occur within 90 minutes of drug use but have been delayed for as long as 12 hours. \n\n3.Abnormal movements: A number of abnormal movement disorders have been observed with cocaine use. Patients may present with torticollis, trismus, dystonic reactions, and choreiform movements ("crack dancing"). While most of these are benign, abnormal contractions of the vocal cords and larynx result in laryngospasm, which may be severe enough to cause airway obstruction and suffocation.\n\n4. Nausea and vomiting: Nausea and vomiting commonly are due to stimulation of the vomiting center of the brain and usually are self-limited.\n\n5.Anxiety: Anxiety and restlessness are common manifestations of cocaine toxicity and are due to the sympathomimetic effect of cocaine on the brain.\n\nB.Cardiac\n1.Chest pain: Chest pain is the most frequent cocaine-related complaint and constitutes approximately 40% of cocaine-related emergency department visits. Chest pain following cocaine use may be due to a number of causes, including those directly attributable to the effects of cocaine, such as myocardial infarction and aortic dissection, and causes due to complications of the route of administration. For example, inhalation of cocaine, resulting in pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax, and intravenous injection, resulting in septic emboli, may all present with chest pain and other cardiopulmonary symptoms.\nCocaine-associated myocardial infarction may occur in as many as 31% of patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain following cocaine use. The pain is described as substernal pressurelike discomfort and is associated with shortness of breath and diaphoresis. Patients who are affected usually are young males (aged 19-40 y) who smoke cigarettes and repetitively use cocaine. \n\nC. Respiratory: Shortness of breath, like chest pain, is a frequent complaint bringing patients using cocaine to the emergency department and may be due to a number of cardiopulmonary processes. Cocaine smoking is associated with acute exacerbations of asthma, bronchiolitis obliterans, cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, interstitial pneumonitis, pulmonary vascular hypertension, pulmonary hemorrhage, thermal injury to the airway, pneumothorax, and significant impairment of the diffusing capacity of the lung. Shortness of breath also may be due to cocaine-induced laryngospasm. Inhalation of cocaine may result in pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax.\n\nD.Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain following cocaine use should raise suspicion of ischemic bowel; bowel perforation; and, in the smuggler, bowel obstruction. . \n\nE. Skeletal muscle: Cocaine use can lead to rhabdomyolysis, which may or may not be associated with hyperthermia, seizures, or agitation.

Fashion models have been known to use cocaine in order to stay thin. Cocaine users often go days without eating and if this behavior is continued it can lead to addiction. Increased heart rate, blood pressure, constricted blood vessels, dilated pupils, and increased temperature are all short-term physiological cocaine effects. When taken in large quantities, cocaine will intensify the user's high and may cause violent and erratic behavior on the part of the user. \n\nLong-tem cocaine effects are noticeable as cocaine abuse continues and tolerance builds. Since cocaine is a highly addictive drug, it can lead to major medical complications and health problems. Some of the these complications include heart disease, heart attacks, respiratory failure, strokes, seizures, and gastrointestinal problems. Other physical symptoms include convulsions, nausea, blurred vision, chest pain, fever, muscle spasms, and coma. \n\nAs the habit of using cocaine becomes increasingly important, behavior such as lying, heating, stealing, absenteeism at work and denying the use of cocaine, is an evident side effect. While these behaviors are not directly related to the use of cocaine, these cocaine effects are often present due to the lifestyle of the addict. \n\nOther long-term cocaine effects include: \n\nAddiction\nParanoia\nIrritability\nRestlessness\nAuditory hallucinations\nMood disturbances\n\nWith continued use, many cocaine addicts develop a higher tolerance for the drug over time. Addicts are also said to "chase the high"; meaning they continue to use cocaine seeking the feeling they felt the first time they used it. For people addicted to cocaine and cocaine effects, this high will never again be felt in the same way, and this addiction can lead to insanity and death.

The thing is, sadly, coke is never easy on the body. Even if you are a super-fit athlete, coke constricts the blood vessels, so if you happen to have a narrow artery somewhere in the brain (which no-one knows about themselves until it's too late) where the vessels are by nature narrow, you can constrict one enough to prevent blood getting thru to that area of the brain, so that area dies - and that is a stroke or CVA. This is a permanent condition and can result in loss of use of one side of the body, ability to speak etc. This can happen in anyone, even the health conscious.\n\nMy second point is that the body needs rest periods between things to recover from stuff. Eating junk food is ok as long as it's not at every meal time for example. Having alcohol is ok, again, if the body can rest a few days a week without it.\n\nYour friend sounds mis-guided and addicted. Addiction makes people believe all sorts of things that allow them to top-up their habit....it's called denial. Try www.talktofrank.com for more info. about drugs.

Using coke or heroin or whatever isn't a wise thing to do anyway. Whether a test will find traces of drugs used after a certain time depends on the test itself. A normal blood test generally doesn't find much after 36-72 hours. Traces of marijuana can be found even weeks or months in urine-tests. Coke can be found several months after you used it in your hair! The best way to not get caught on using drugs:\nDon't use it! (It's better for both your physical and mental health anyway).

It depends on how your body reacts to it.  It's usually temporary if any, you may not have any and depends on the dose

If you are talking about how long it takes to show up negative on a tox screen(drug test), then about 3-5 day for both cocaine and crack. Unlike marijuana which shows up a positive on a tox screen for about 30-45 days(sometimes longer because THC absorbs itself in fat cells), coke and crack flush out quickly.

cocaine is a cns stimulant, heart racing, bp goes up, blood is trying to pump faster and harder and the heart is working over time....dangerous drug, death can occur from first time use easily, my suggestion for u is not to use agian if this question is for u, if not try to intervene on the person who is using, the consequences will eventually be deadly... its not worth it for a high u will be chasing every time u use... you will never get that way like the first time, this is called tolerance, each time u use, it makes it harder for the body to respond normally and the next thing u know u are using just to not feel crappy, the high isnt even there anymore... please take some advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
