Cocaine is a white powder produced by processing the coca plant and isolating its psychoactive component. It is known to produce euphoria, induce wakefulness and alertness, suppress hunger and increase self-confidence. However, even just a few cases of consumption could lead to severe addiction. Because of its association with the rich and powerful, as well as its enormous demand, cocaine is and will remain an expensive drug, and one of the most attractive ventures for drug traffickers. The United States in particular is dealing with an exponential increase in Latin American cocaine smuggling, almost all of which ends up in their borders.
