Cocaine is C17H22ClNO4\nthe IUPAC name is: \nmethyl 3-benzoyloxy-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-4-carboxylate hydrochloride

cocaine is made from the leaves of the coca plant - about 10LB of leaves tomake 1Lb of cocaine.\n\nChemicals are used also but nothing terribly elaborate.\n\nSo "man modified" - but simply chewing the leaves "works" - and locals DO chew the leaves - for both recreation purposes and for pain relief

Yes, there is. The chemical term of the substance is "23R-TIRO." It was first produced in Kenya by a team of researchers in 1952. Very little is known about that substance, but some say it has the power to defeat mortality. Sounds like a tall order, I know, but with more than nine years of wisdom under my belt as a correspondent attached to narcotics, I think I am not wrong.

The common street selling price of cocaine hydrochloride powder is $80-$100 per gram. \n\nThe purity of the drug is almost always diluted by dealers wanting to increase the volume of the cocaine to multiply profits. \nPopular "cutting" agents include lactose, inositol, mannitol, lidocaine, and even cornstarch, talcum powder, or sugar.

Methamphetamine is commonly called meth, crystal, tina, and sometimes confusingly called ice. The chemical name for methamphetamine is (S)-N,a-Dimethylbenzene-ethanamine; d-N-methylamphetamine.  The term "ice" is generally applies to 4-methyl-aminorex, but is often used to refer to relatively pure (and here lately not so pure) forms of methamphetamine.

Specifically: water, pyridine, squalene, urea, acetic acid, lactic acid, complex alcohols and glycols, ketones, and aldehydes.

Cocaine produces a wide range of physiological effects in humans, including the stimulation of a plethora of emotional experiences. When people take cocaine, they become euphoric, highly active (locomotion, tremors, and tics), and more talkative than normal. They experience feelings of extreme power and alertness. This initial high is followed by bouts of severe anxiety, paranoia, and depression, which often lead to addiction. Those who become addicted to the drug often turn the habit into an obsession, so that they devote more, and more of their time and money to acquiring and using the drug. \n\nWithdrawal from cocaine can cause a drastic fall in the level of extracellular dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (Rosetti 1992). This decrease is thought to be caused by an increased secretion of dynorphin, one of the endogenous opioids.\n\nmore information in\nhttp://www.macalester.edu/psychology/whathap/UBNRP/Dopamine/cocaine.html\n\n \n(AP) Chronic cocaine use harms brain circuits that help produce the sense of pleasure, which may help explain why cocaine addicts have a higher rate of depression, a study suggests \nhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/01/01/health/main534934.shtml

Opium is, well, opium.  There is no one drug or chemical compound in opium.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia, it consists of multiple alkaloids including morphine and codeine papaverine.\n\nRather than plagarise the article, you can read for yourself:

Any Cocaine Metabolite stays in your body system for a minimum of 1.25- 4 hours and a maximum of 2-3 days.This is called the detection time.You can metabolize drugs at a different rate and, thus, have slightly different maximum and minimum detection times, as to how long the drug will stay in the body.

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.

Standardly Detectable in Urine for 48-72 hours after use.\n\n"Elimination of cocaine is predominantly controlled by its biotranformation. Very low concentrations of cocaine may be detected in urine during the initial several hours, but benzoylegonine persists in urine at detectable concentrations for 48 hrs."\n\nLong term habitual users may have traces of cocaine remain in their system for longer than the standard 3 days.\n\nIn hair tests, it can be detected at different variables, depending on your metabolism.  Increasing doses usually result in increased levels of the drug and metabolites in hair.

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant, which does not last that long. There are no long-term effects. The most dangerous aspects of cocaine are --\n1) The junk they add to it\n2) Getting arrested for a victimles crime\n3) Because it is illegal, you have no idea of the purity

This chemical is phenylethylamine.  It is a stimulant, but it is the same chemical that your brain produces and uses.  It functions similarly to an amphetamine.\n\nOn the ingredient label of a popular weight-loss supplement at a grocery store, I saw cocoa extract.\n\nThere are three stimulants that I know of in chocolate:  caffeine, phenylethylamine, and theobromine.  This extract in the supplement that I saw must be high in one of these stimulants, or they wouldn't have even put it in there.  And caffeine is probably not the one, because cocoa only has a smidgen of caffeine, and that would be an EXTREMELY expensive way to get caffeine.

In addition to the above, most drugs are salts.  Usually an acid as most drugs are basic. HCl is probably the most common.  Sometimes acidic drugs are made into salts with bases (carboxylates).
