   one of my best friends was on this. the main thing i noticed when she recently used within the hour or so, was when she talked she had her teeth clenched. but her speech was completly normal. another thing is they are constantly doing something keeping busy. cleaning cleaning cleaning is the main thing. and they dont sleep coke keeps them awake when there on it. sniffling like they have a runny nose even if they dont, wipping there nose. and glassy eyes. im not sure if her eyes would dialate or not, i dont remember that. but i would think they do.

   Cocaine makes people feel energetic, talkative, alert and euphoric. They feel more aware of their senses: sound, touch, sight and sexuality seem heightened. Hunger and the need for sleep are reduced. Although cocaine is a stimulant, some people find it calming, and feel increased self-control, confidence and ease with others. Other people may feel nervous and agitated, and can’t relax.

   All drugs react with people differently, depending on your body compostition.

   The physical effects of coke are the same as any other stimulant drug — except that the first rush is possibly much more intense. The initial effects are pleasant, they give the user increased confidence, a willingness to work, greater motivation, increased libido, and a euphoric rush or high.

   At the same time, coke raises blood pressure, increases heart rate, causes rapid breathing, tenses muscles, and causes the jitters (although many don’t notice it because they’re feeling so alert and euphoric). Over time, and with regular use, people may get paranoid, anxious, and confused, and sometimes they hallucinate. Insomnia, agitation, and depression can also result from frequent cocaine use. The problems with cocaine come from doing too much, its mixture with other drugs, and the crash after binge use. The latter arrives when the initial feelings of well-being and confidence, the sense of being invincible, and the satisfied feelings disappear as suddenly as the rush appeared, leaving the user with the desire to have more. Usually, after a night, or a few nights, of snorting coke, the user crashes — sleeping all day long, trying to put energy back into the body — and decides never to do the drug again. Anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks later, the person wants to do it again, searching for that good feeling from the last time.

   Cocaine use can easily turn into abuse — and yes, this can occur shortly after one’s first cocaine experience. The brain’s pleasure centers that cocaine short-circuits makes its use a mighty hard habit to kick — despite the side effects of chronic nasal irritation, nosebleeds, paranoia, and bank account depletion. This is an expensive habit!
