What Are The Ill Effects Of Consuming Cocaine?

I am concerned for a friend. I think they may be doing and selling cocaine. There behavior recently made a 360. He seems to be tired a lot, excessive cleaning. He has a lot of friends that do the drug but says he doe not use it. I found out that they pay everything in cash and for there young age they own a lot of big items- house I paid for, own a boat, personal car paid for, motorcycle paid for. The only real bill they have is there work vehicle. Then as a supposedly joke they pretended they had a bag of cocaine and a large some of money in there home and wanted to give me the code to retrieve the items. They then laughed it off saying it was a joke. Then one day they stopped by my house to visit and when they got out of the car said they were exhausted and laid on my lawn. They were too tired to come in. What should I do?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Dear service user,
thank you for writing to healthcaremagic.
I read the question. Your question departs far from health related issue.
There are number of health hazards of cocaine use.
As far as psychiatric aspects are concerned it causes bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior, hallucinations, hyper excitability and irritability. It
creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin,euphoria, morbid suspicious behaviour,depression, psychosis or panic.
Convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time) can also occur.
Sexual dysfunction occurs in long standing users.
I hope this will help you.
Regards.
