Not BP: You are taking Cocaine which damages the heart, blood vessels, brain and nervous system. Cocaine use is also associated with sudden death. You need to admit yourself in a drug rehab facility. Otherwise be prepared for the possible disabling and even fatal consequences

Dont do cocaine.: Cocaine causes the release and prevents the breakdown of norepinephrine and Epinephrine resulting in vasocostriction and tachycardia. This is highly addictive. This medication can cause death. I recommend you do not use cocaine.
