Texas, especially the northern part, is used as a distribution point for cocaine in Texas and in other states. Crack cocaine is very popular in areas such as Dallas, where the population is very big. Most of the crack found in Texas was made in the state by local producers.

If an addict is overdosing on cocaine, there are various effects which can be seen or felt. The user’s heart rate will increase, decrease, or start being irregular, and they might have breathing problems, or they might show signs of heart attack, which can be fatal.
