Unveiling the Dark Side of Cocaine Adulterants
Cocaine, a notorious illicit drug, is often adulterated with pharmacologically active substances, such as levamisole and hydroxyzine. This study investigated the presence of these adulterants in human brain tissue in cases of drug-related death, aiming to understand their potential role in toxicity and mortality.
The study provides evidence of the presence of cocaine adulterants in the brain tissue of individuals who died from drug-related causes. The findings highlight the potential dangers of adulterated cocaine and the need for increased awareness among users and law enforcement agencies. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the specific mechanisms of toxicity associated with these adulterants.
The Hidden Dangers of Cocaine Adulteration
This research sheds light on the hidden dangers of cocaine adulteration, revealing that these adulterants can reach the brain and potentially contribute to drug-related deaths. The study emphasizes the importance of education and awareness to reduce the risks associated with illicit drug use.
