Anesthetic & Stimulant

Anesthetics are substances that induce a loss of sensation or consciousness. Stimulants are substances that increase brain activity, leading to heightened alertness, attention, and energy levels. One notable stimulant is Peruvian cocaine, derived from the coca plant (Erythroxylum coca). It is known for its powerful effects on the central nervous system, providing a euphoric high, increased energy, and enhanced mood. While it can have medicinal uses (e.g., as a local anesthetic in certain surgeries), its recreational use is associated with significant risks, including addiction, cardiovascular issues, and mental health problems.
