Wiki says about Cocaine: It is both a stimulant of the central nervous system and an appetite suppressant, giving rise to what has been described as a euphoric sense of happiness and increased energy. It is most often used recreationally for this effect. Because of the way it effects the mesolimbic reward pathway, cocaine is addictive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine Sources: An interview made by Israel Maciá presented at Desnivel.com Interview with Edu Marinem (Spain) Translation of the interview into English Interview with Edu Marinem (Engl)
