Cocaine abuse today is truly a national epidemic that encompasses all ages, economic and ethnic groups. This article focuses on the physiological effects of cocaine and the destructive nature of the drug in terms of the abuser's powerlessness over highly addictive qualities. Cocaine abuse in our nation will continue to increase unless the federal government develops more stringent policies to drastically decrease the amount of cocaine imported into the United States from source countries.
如今，可卡因滥用确实已成为一场全国性的流行病，涵盖了所有年龄段、经济群体和种族群体。本文重点关注可卡因的生理影响以及就滥用者对其高度成瘾性的无力控制而言该药物的破坏性本质。除非联邦政府制定更严格的政策大幅减少从来源国进口到美国的可卡因数量，否则我国的可卡因滥用情况将持续增加。
