Here's What Cocaine Does To The Human Body

Last week Wall Street found that it had another cocaine fueled scandal on its hands, when an investment bankers ex-wife accused her husband of intense drug abuse.

Less than a week later, a banker in Hong Kong was arrested as a suspect in the murder of two prostitutes. Police found a small amount of cocaine in his home.

This isn't necessarily every day stuff, but it wasn't a terrible shock either. Cocaine has been an elicit way for bankers to keep up with clients, parties and long hours for decades.

That has its consequences, though.

Cocaine can harm a number of parts of the human body, from your nasal passages to your sexual stamina. No small thing.
