Cocaine abuse is growing rapidly. While the hight of its popularity seemed to be decades ago, that is simply not true.
Unfortunately, these days you can find some form of cocaine in schools, parties, the work place and at home. But what are the signs that someone is on cocaine? How you can tell if your loved one is addicted to a drug that has the ability to consume a person after the first use?
It’s important to realize that not many people can hide the fact that they are under the influence of cocaine. The short term symptoms can be seen immediately. Some effects are increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, decreased appetite, increased energy, dilated pupils, and increased temperature.
Some long-term effects of the drug are; obsessiveness of getting high, paranoia, irritability, restlessness, and mood disturbances. These effects become more noticeable as the cocaine use goes on and as the person’s tolerance to the drug builds up.
