Cocaine is bad health wise, with enough abuse one can overdose, which can cause a heart attack or hemorrhage. With regular abuse over a long period of time cocaine can lead to heart problems, strokes and even paranoia.

When cocaine is used “moderation” and not doing large amounts, like once a month, having breaks every now and then, and about 2 grams each time, it is harmless to most people, both short and long run.

However, cocaine affects the odd few people completely different from others. Where most people feel energetic, mentally alert, talkative and very confident. The odd few people feel energetic, mentally alert, very confident and become violence, which causes them to start fights and cause trubble.

Have I done it? Yes, done it for about 4 years of my life waisting well over $ 10,000. I don’t even want to go back down that road again.
