Answer: Cocaine affects the complete organism.

Explanation:

The moment it reaches the brain, it acts on chemical messengers (neurotransmitters). They use the same nerves to communicate with each other. Cocaine blocks norepinephrine (a cell that binds to depression) and causes several different reactions in the brain.

Because of this, consumers create a sense of adrenaline and superiority. Consumers, therefore, experience a state of alertness, excess energy, advantage, and excellent spirits.
