Oh irony: the hip people who do everything they can to keep their youth and also using cocaine are bad luck. Cocaine use speeds up the aging process of your DNA and so you age faster.
Cocaïne is one of the most addictive substances which man knows. It disrupts the brain’s reward pathways and forces the cells to keep producing pleasurable signals until the drug wears off.
But how coke exactly that the connections between brain cells, triggering addictive behaviors that in turn manifest in substance abuse, is a chain of events that researchers are still trying to understand.
Until now, we only knew from studies with mice that cocaine use accelerates aging. A new study of human brain tissue obtained post-mortem again found the same thing: cocaine users have many more features of molecular aging in their brains than non-users.
Cocaine contributes to a flashy life. In all perspectives.
