Cocaine users often have increase have an elevated speech pattern so speech irregularities are a warning sign.

And because cocaine is powerful stimulant, people who use cocaine often have a difficult time falling asleep or suffer from disruptive, inconsistent sleep patterns is a warning sign.

Being an EX-user, I will give you some info in this ;

When a user first gets on cocaine, your perception will be vague. Mostly just like someone having a good day, and happy. The longer one uses it, then they go into a different "mind"...
They get into a frame of mind that 'there is someone (s) here that enjoy me. There is a "bond" that develops (a trap of Satan). Most users are BORED when they start. Some get caught into the idea that they can impress someone they have an eye for. All a TRAP. Once they get "caught in the trap", or, hung up on it, the lure of something to do, and taking an adventure, and enjoying...their morals will began to diminish. They love the high (but mostly, for the moment, the attention), thus keep using, and, the mind begins perverting from a normal situation. The women end up doing tricks for the cocaine, and the men usually begin stealing ( both are subject the same).
Effects of constant use is paranoia, anxiety , the want to stay away from all that don't do the drug, and want to stay around those that do.
Heavy use is not eating, even for days...

Cocaine is the most effectual tool of the DEVIL at the moment to pervert and control the minds of people now, ESPECIALLY the young.
Give them something better....
If you REALLY care, find a way to give them something better...
Bella has a lot of good info...

Erm

Probably wouldn't be acting their usual self. More hyped up - can't sit still. Eyes will be blood shot and staring alot. Alot of movement around their mouth - chewing of the gums and insides of their mouth. Sniffing of the nose - nose bleeds.

Hope this helps lol

Also they will become very paranoid! They will try and act normal but really they're standing out like a sore thumb!!

Since cocaine is a stimulant it causes an individual to be antsy. In other words they find it very hard to sit still. They seem to have an uncontrolled need to move. So, without questioning someone and being lied to... just observe their actions and behavior. If it acts like a duck, sounds like a duck, and walk like a duck... it is probably a duck.

Urine Analysis... You won't be able to definitely tell from signs, although it may seem like it's apparent. It'd just be hard to judge for sure and isn't the kind of thing you want to be wrong about...

Incessant movements with their mouth or tongue that they don't seem to be aware of (licking their teeth, clenching their teeth, doing weird things with their lips....)

Eyes open real big, or pupil dilated...or both. And they look at you, but kinda look like they are looking through you.

More talkative than normal.

If they are a smoker, they are chain smoking.
