People often use it to increase mental activity and to offset drowsiness, fatigue, or as an appetite suppressant; however, the intense high of cocaine is followed by an intense low.

Amphetamines Similar to cocaine, amphetamines are stimulants. They stimulate the nervous system, increasing physical activity, energy, mental alertness, self-confidence, and producing euphoria.

Unfortunately, it is the most abused narcotic in this country, and its use is on the rise as of the late 1990s.
