    Cocaine, a crystalline tropane alkaloid, will stay in your system in some form for roughly forty-eight hours, depending on the method of administration. However, the size and method of administering the dosage will have an effect on how long it takes for the cocaine to metabolize and leave your system.

    Cocaine stimulates the nervous system and reduces appetite, caused by blocking dopamine from entering the system, thereby generating a synapse burst in the brain that induces a euphoric high. If chewed or eaten, often in the form of coca leaves, it will take about 30 minutes to enter the blood stream, while snorting will produce maximum effects within 20 minutes, which are then sustained for roughly 60 minutes. Injecting cocaine directly into the veins will cause the fastest high, at an average of 3.1 minutes, but has the highest health risks.
    Chronic usage of cocaine in any form will lead to DAT upregulation in the brain, which then causes depression. Abuse may also lead to fatigue, increased appetite and agitation, among other symptoms.

    Hi. I was doing coke for 2 months straight with no breaks in between. During that time i made problems with my family becuz i wouldnt come home for days since i was so wired all the time and never slept. i also became dependent on my dealers n trusted them way too much. The last day I did some yay was when i was tricked to leave my house for some fat lines. I got home that night and my dealers stole EVERYTHING from my house. since then ive been clean. Do you think i will fail a test if the last time i did it was 3 months ago? oh yea i'm only an 18 year old girl and i can already figure out cocaine is a death drug and i will never do that again.

    Every one of the labs I called, including the probation office, said cocaine is detectable for up to six weeks in urine. Although on the internet I can find nothing that says it is detectable for more than four days. Thats a big differance. The lab tecs have no reson to lie, so probaly the best thing to do is just say no.

    I have heard that it stays for 2-3 days but it depends on the amount you use and the immune system of your body. I would suggest you not use it at all.

    Cocaine stays in your system roughly 3-5 days. However, many tests look for chemicals your body produces due to the drug, not the drug it self. In the case of cocaine, it can be found in your system up to 30 days later.

    It takes no more 3 days to get out of the body system. However the problem is in the habit and when you try to quit.

    you're wrong... depending on how much you use, how long you use for, the cocaine is detectable in your urine for a MINIMUM of 3 days. if you're a heavy user, cocaine can still be detected in your urine for up to 20 days.
    by the way --- its not the cocaine itself they are looking for in the urine, its the metabolites of the drug... and if you're a heavy user, you've got these metabolite stored --- when you're not using, the metabolites are slowly excreted and therefore STILL detectable in your urine for a Long time.

    I've been a Dr for 7 years and have to laugh at some of the comments, why try and make cocaine use a good thing?? You degenerate idiots, its a very dangerous drug, you dont have to use it for years to die from heart problems. But in answer to your question regarding how long it stays in your body well its simple really, The main cause for people failing drug tests is their underestimating the time it stays in the body.

    There is a bit of misinformation out there and that is cocaine is out of your system in 2-3 days. Well while that might be true LABS DON'T TEST FOR THE DRUG ITSELF. Yes, that is true, they look for the metabolite. A metabolite is something that the body produces when it ingests something, in the case of cocaine it is

    Cocaine stays in your system for 2 to 3 days, and is detectable in urine for the same amount of time.

    It only stays in your system up to 3 days, however if you tend to sweat a lot... it takes less than that to get rid of it...

    I recently had a drug test at work.Id been clean 4 almost 4 days and the urine test was positive.Im an average user so 2-3 days is incorrect-5-6 is more accurate.

    Cocaine is the worst drug I have ever tried in my life.I am currently a recovering drug addict who would recommend to anyone not to try it. It can stay in your system for up to 1 month, because when they check your urine they do not check the drug itself there are other things they check. And I would not advice to take any of those drinks or pills, they can now detect those also which will lead to you getting in more trouble or if the test is for a job it will lead to you defiantly not getting it. Good luck to all reading this because you are obviously here for a reason and if you would like help getting clean please feel free to contact me any time. e-mail bajacali246@aol.com

    My ex-boyfriend was on "papers" about two years ago. He and I both did some fat lines and smoked the stuff. I know its bad but whatever. Anyways, four days later he had a urine test and passed clean. Don't listen to everything you hear, these people are addicts who are trying to control your thoughts. Sort of like aliens. But for real though! He really did pass. So keep it real and let that clean piss roll. ONE!

    Okay so since I'm already on adderall xr which is an amphetamine, very very similar to meth, does it produce different metabolites than coke, or if I take a urine test will they be able to tell if I did coke since I'm already prescribed adderall. I think my test will be in about a week.

    answered 12 months ago

    I am also on adderall and am in the same situation. Can I ask what the outcome of the urine test was?
