Cocaine Use on the Rise in Europe

By relieved · Comments (0)
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

According to the 2010 publication by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction the use of cocaine is up.


Their publication quotes “Cocaine use and cocaine-related problems in Europe have increased since the mid 1990′s. Surveys have shown that in many EU countries – and in Europe overall – cocaine is now the second most commonly used illicit substance among the general population”  It goes on to say that cocaine is reported in the toxicological analysis of a high portion of drug-related deaths.

The conclusion that most come to, is that Europe is quickly becoming a major destination for cocaine smuggling. This may be from the continuing tighter enforcement policies and seizures (busts) in the US. Or it could also be from just the demand in the European regions for cocaine to use.

One obvious conclusion to heightened cocaine trafficking is … that wherever the demand is … the drugs will flow into.

New Cocaine Sentencing Legislation Passes Through the Senate

By relieved · Comments (0)
Saturday, March 27th, 2010

For about the last 20 years the sentencing for crack offenses has been 100 times higher than powered cocaine.  The new bill passed unanimously in the US Senate lowers the ratio to a disparity of 18 – 1, still giving crack a much stiffer sentence than regular cocaine.


The legislation passed on March 17, 2010 and was reported by the ACLU as states “The Fair Sentencing Act is an encouraging step toward eliminating the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine but still allows for a needlessly unfair sentencing framework. The unanimous passage of this bill speaks to the understanding across the political spectrum that this disparity is unjust and in need of reform. Years of research has yielded no evidence of any appreciable difference between crack and powder cocaine and yet we continue to inflict this disparity on Americans. For over two decades, this sentencing disparity has been a strain on our justice system. Though this bill’s passage is long overdue, it does not go far enough. Without a simple and fair 1-1 sentencing ratio for crack and powder cocaine, we cannot say that these sentencing laws meet constitutional muster.”

How Long Does Cocaine Stay in Your System?

Good question but if you are asking “how long does cocaine stay in your system” the obvious long term thought is why are you worried?


Now is the time to consider long term realization where the cocaine will take you.

The answer short term is 2 – 4 days depending how much water you drink.  Cocaine leaves your system quickly because it is mostly water soluble and is mixed in your body fluids. As these body fluids are flushed out of your body the cocaine goes with it. Coke stays longer, and both depend on the amounts and length of usage.  Common sense says that if you are a daily user it will take much longer to work it through than a infrequent user.  This is only for a urinalysis, a hair follicle test is something different altogether.

A detox kit can accelerate the process, many are not effective.  So it is like Russian roulette trying to find a good one if you have a screening coming up.  Many users keep one on hand.

The obvious question tho is, are you worried about passing a test … or are you worried about the long term cocaine effects?

Hair Follicle Test

When you use, metabolites are produced as the drug goes through the body.  As the metabolites circulate through the blood stream they enter and provide nourishment for the hair follicle’s and then enter the hair strand.  The hair follicle test is often used because with the urine test the drug is out of your system more quickly, and the hair strand retains the drug longer.

A hair follicle test is susceptible to a variation in time because of the growth rate of hair.  A standard screen covers a time frame of approximately 90 days.  In the screen process, the hair is cut close as possible to the scalp and the lower 1.5 inches is used.  Tests have shown that the normal hair grows about 1/2 inch per month, giving aa approximate 90 day or 3 month test.

Detox hair shampoo is available, but the sure thing is to abstain from using!
