A member asked:
Well i'm 27 and was recently implanted with a pacemaker, was wondering if i can try cocaine at least once? be honest about it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A person can die from using cocaine, which affects many organs in the body. Cause of death can be from a cocaine induced fatal heart rhythm (not a good idea to challenge the pacemaker to see which fatal rhythms it can save you from), from choking to death after a cocaine induced seizure, etc..., not to mention the possibility of being shot dead while being robbed of one's cocaine or cocaine money.
