I have a very close friend who has recently started using cocaine.He says he does not use a lot,I am overworried, but I think he should stay away from it. People at his work do it at parties; he does it less tham most, but he is doing enough to worry me. Anybody with first-hand experience have a perspectived they would like to share? Can people get hooking in a month or 2 of use 1-2 times a week?

Cocaine is a very addictive drug. Most people who use it start out as what is termed as "recreational users" but end up getting totally addicted. The drug is not physically addicting ( your body does not "crave"it) but the effect it has on your mental state is all the more addicting. If your friend is still capable of stopping use now, without any help, I would advise that he do so immediately, otherwise try counseling. Do not let him wait too long!

My brother has been an addict for a few years now.... I don't think your friend would physically get addicted from 1 or 2 times a week but he if he doesn't stop he will need more to get the same high as he did before.... and if he does more he WILL get addicted. And addiction to ANY drug is very bad news. Someone you've known your entire life will become someone you don't know at all.... It takes over their lives. Not only that, but getting into a serious relationship with someone that is potentially an addict would be a hurtful situation-- you would always be number TWO. Drug addicts care about drugs more than themselves, their family, their friends..... It sounds hard to believe but I've watched my brother who was at one time my very best friend, slowly fade into someone I am almost embarrassed to know. It's very sad...... Talk to your friend about his use-- if he agrees not to do it anymore I'd say go for it!!! If not, don't get involved.... just be a friend-- if he becomes an addict that's what he's really gonna need!

Don't do it. Yes, the truth is you can get hooked the first time you use. I can say from personal experience that someone who uses that garbage can also become very violent . I got tired of being drug out of bed to be beaten just because he was coming down and could not get more after blowing all his money. He also had a tendency to steal my money if it wasn't safely in my bank account.

Stay away from him! People that use cocaine can easily influence people that dont. Most cocaine users end up stealing and lying. It is just a matter of time befrore he will want you to follow him on his journey to hell. It is a very addictive narcotic and he will end up needing help to stop. If you are smart you will not date this person but help him by offering him help.

I can tell you my opinion.....STAY THE H*LL AWAY FROM IT.
With that being said, something I've heard time and time again is that if you've tried it twice you're probably already hooked....this is not a dramatic overstatement, it is absolutely HIGHLY addictive.
I too had a friend who ruined his life, his family's life, and is.....DEAD. That's about as final as it gets.
Reality check: He already has a problem. Dating him is gonna cause you a lot of grief, maybe even suck you into that world.....it ain't worth it, no matter how great of a guy he might be.
Ask yourself is it REALLY worth it....good luck.

Good Luck!!!
