This case doesn't provide enough evidence to conclude whether cocaine is safe or dangerous. One individual's experience cannot be generalized to the entire population. Additionally, while the woman did not appear to show negative effects other than dependence, it is possible that there were negative effects that were not observed or reported. Further research with larger sample sizes and more rigorous design is needed to accurately assess the dangers and safety of cocaine.
