Cocaine is a highly addictive psychoactive drug that acts as a central nervous system stimulant and anaesthetic. It is most commonly used illicitly in recreational settings for the euphoric effects, increased energy, and increased alertness that it causes.

Cocaine and its related materials have limited medical applications due to their high potential for abuse, as well as their detrimental effects on consumers’ physical and mental health.
