Re: Cocaine and heart-attacks

Although cocaine releases dopamines in the brain for that rush, I'm not so sure your heart would beat _that_ much faster from a line of cocaine or a triple shot latte.

This is incorrect. Actually, cocaine blocks the reuptake of the dopamine, so there is an excess amount in the brain. No more dopamine is released than normal, it just takes longer to be re-absorbed.
Anyways, its been said that crack is 500x more addictive than powered coke. Of course that is an arbitrary number as well...
