| Clinical Signifigance | Cocaine is derived from the plant species Erythroxylone coca, which is widely grown in South America. Cocaine is a very common illicit drug and is popularly abused in the US. Cocaine abuse can produce euphoria, arousal, garrulousness, alertness, anxiety, insomnia, hyperactivity, paranoia, sever psychosis, and even suicide. Cocaine is rapidly metabolized, with less than 5% excreted unchanged in the urine. |
