Cocoa alkaloids are a group of drugs extracted from a plant called Erythroxylum coca which when ingested in the form of snorting induces the following - sensory distortion, euphoria cardiovascular diseases, increase in appetite, hallucinations, paranoia, loss of personal sense of identity. Also known as crack, these cocoa alkaloids cause heartbeat to increase, making one supremely energetic due to dopamine flooding causing euphoria, hallucinations and paranoia.
Opioids are drugs extracted from a plant called Papaver somniferum, or simply a poppy plant. It acts on the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.
The latex of Papaver somniferum is a whitish milky substance. Morphine is extracted from it and when it is further acetylated, heroin is obtained. People are easily addicted to this derivative of opioids. This white odourless, bitter crystalline compound acts on the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.
Cannabinoids are extracted from the leaves and flowers of the plant Cannabis sativa. Its derivatives are hashish and marijuana. Hashish is obtained from the inflorescence of the plant's leaves whereas marijuana is obtained from the leaves and the flowers of the same plant. It has an orange coloured resin; when treated, a blackened sticky residue is obtained. It is from this residue that charas is made. Cannabis can be taken orally as well as inhaled, can be minced and eaten along with foods.
