Cocaine is classified as a
Schedule
II drug under the Controlled Substances Act of
1970. This classification is based upon its high potential
for abuse while still having legitimate medical uses,
such as topical analgesics and local anesthesia. Most
legitimate cocaine use is for medical purposes in
the field of dentistry.
The exact name for cocaine
is Cocaine Hydrochloride. Crack cocaine is a derivative
of cocaine that removes the hydrochloride salt from
the molecule enabling cocaine to be smoked and thus
removing a first pass through the liver making it
more potent.
Cocaine
Rehab is available throughout the United States.
Check your local Department of Mental Health for cocaine
