How Can You Tell If Someone Is Doing Coke?

The symptoms of Cocaine abuse can be classified into the short term and the long term. Besides having the blood and urine of a person tested a careful observation of an individuals behaviour to a pattern of behavioural symptoms can help a person identify to some degree of certainty cocaine abuse. Immediate or short term symptoms include increased energy, dilated pupils, increased blood pressure, increased temperature, constricted blood vessels, increased heart rate, mental alertness and decreased appetite. The long term symptoms of cocaine include mood disturbance, paranoia, restlessness, auditory hallucinations and irritability.

Cocaine is a very addictive substance and once a person is hooked there are a lot of boundaries he will be willing to cross to continue to use the drug. It is suggested that the euphoric feeling that comes from first time use is often sought by addicts and this is the rush that they try and achieve by subsequently using the drug.
