How can I tell when he is on crack or has been using?

Question

His Pupils are extremely large when mine are small, He has black circles around his eyes and he comes home 3 hrs late every day. Some days he doesn't eat and hugs the toilet a lot. What do I do?

Answer 1

Extremely large pupils are not caused by crack. They can be caused by ecstasy, mushrooms, LSD, but not crack. People say meth also causes large pupils, I can't say if it's true though. Meth or ecstasy would also explain not eating, more than crack would because crack leaves the system MUCH faster and so doesn't have a long-lasting appetite suppressing effect. (Though it's possible he's smoking crack laced with another smokable drug, like meth...)

Answer 2

Short-term effects
When cocaine is snorted, its euphoric effects appear soon after it is taken, peak in about 15-30 minutes and disappear completely within one half to two hours. As the 'high' is short-lasting, this often encourages users to repeat the dose in order to maintain the effect. It's common for cocaine users to take cocaine again after about half an hour or so after they last took some. Many repeated doses taken over a short period can lead to extreme states of agitation, anxiety or paranoia.
The compulsion to repeat cocaine use is even more evident when the drug is taken as crack. The effects of crack cocaine occur and peak immediately the drug is smoked and begin to fade shortly afterwards. Crack users commonly repeat the dose at short intervals in an attempt to maintain the 'high'.

When large amounts of cocaine are taken (several hundred milligrams or more) the 'high' is intensified up to a point, but such doses can also lead to bizarre, erratic and violent behavior. These users may experience severe tremors, vertigo, muscle twitches and paranoia.


Longer-term effects
If cocaine is taken over a period of time, users experience the drug's long-term effects. The euphoric 'high' is gradually replaced by restlessness, extreme excitability, insomnia, and paranoia - and eventually hallucinations and delusions. These conditions are very similar to amphetamine psychosis and paranoid schizophrenia, although they disappear in most cases after cocaine use is ended.
While many of the physical effects of heavy continuous use are essentially the same as those of short-term use, the heavy user may also suffer from mood swings, loss of interest in sex, weight loss and insomnia.
