cocaine
stimulant drug
[U] Uncountable
This term carries a heavy legal and social stigma, typically appearing in contexts related to criminal justice, narcotics enforcement, or medical pathology. It evokes an image of high-potency stimulation and illicit trade, often associated with extreme wealth or systemic addiction in journalistic and cinematic narratives.
Grammatically, the word is an uncountable mass noun. It cannot be pluralized as cocaines to describe quantity; instead, it requires partitive constructions such as a shipment of cocaine or a gram of cocaine to specify a measurable amount.
Used as a mass noun because it refers to the chemical substance or powder regardless of the amount.
