Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Cocaine abuse represents a major public health concern. The social perception of cocaine has been changing over the decades, a phenomenon closely tied to its patterns of use and abuse. Twitter is a valuable tool to understand the status of drug use and abuse globally. However, no specific studies discussing cocaine have been conducted on this platform.
UNASSIGNED: 111,508 English and Spanish tweets containing \"cocaine\" from 2018 to 2022 were analyzed. 550 were manually studied, and the largest subset underwent automated classification. Then, tweets related to cocaine were analyzed to examine their content, types of Twitter users, usage patterns, health effects, and personal experiences. Geolocation data was also considered to understand regional differences.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 71,844 classifiable tweets were obtained. Among these, 15.95% of users discussed the harm of cocaine consumption to health. Media outlets had the highest number of tweets (35.11%) and the most frequent theme was social/political denunciation (67.88%). Regarding the experience related to consumption, there are more tweets with a negative sentiment. The 9.03% of tweets explicitly mention frequent use of the drug. The continent with the highest number of tweets was America (55.44% of the total).
UNASSIGNED: The findings underscore the significance of cocaine as a current social and political issue, with a predominant focus on political and social denunciation in the majority of tweets. Notably, the study reveals a concentration of tweets from the United States and South American countries, reflecting the high prevalence of cocaine-related disorders and overdose cases in these regions. Alarmingly, the study highlights the trivialization of cocaine consumption on Twitter, accompanied by a misleading promotion of its health benefits, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted interventions and antidrug content on social media platforms. Finally, the unexpected advocacy for cocaine by healthcare professionals raises concerns about potential drug abuse within this demographic, warranting further investigation.

摘要：
■可卡因滥用是一个主要的公共卫生问题。几十年来，社会对可卡因的看法一直在变化，一种与其使用和滥用模式密切相关的现象。Twitter是了解全球毒品使用和滥用状况的宝贵工具。然而,在这个平台上没有进行讨论可卡因的具体研究。
■分析了2018年至2022年包含“可卡因”的111,508条英语和西班牙语推文。550个是手动研究，最大的子集进行了自动分类。然后，分析了与可卡因相关的推文，以检查其内容，Twitter用户的类型，使用模式，对健康的影响,和个人经历。地理定位数据也被认为是为了了解区域差异。
■总共获得了71,844条可分类的推文。其中,15.95％的用户讨论了可卡因消费对健康的危害。媒体的推文数量最多（35.11％），最常见的主题是社会/政治谴责（67.88％）。关于与消费相关的经验，有更多负面情绪的推文。9.03%的推文明确提到经常使用这种药物。推文数量最多的大陆是美国（占总数的55.44％）。
■这些发现强调了可卡因作为当前社会和政治问题的重要性，在大多数推文中，主要关注政治和社会谴责。值得注意的是,这项研究揭示了来自美国和南美国家的大量推文，反映了这些地区可卡因相关疾病和过量病例的高流行率。令人震惊的是,这项研究强调了Twitter上可卡因消费的琐碎，伴随着对其健康益处的误导性宣传，强调迫切需要有针对性的干预措施和社交媒体平台上的禁毒内容。最后,医疗保健专业人员对可卡因的意外宣传引发了人们对这一人群中潜在药物滥用的担忧，保证进一步调查。
