Question about symptoms
I having never used any type of drugs would like to know what are symptoms of someone who may be using Coke?? I have notice that my son is constantly having sinus problems sniffly etc... I have never known him to have allergies and he does always seem to have money problems. Thanks for any advice.

Kind of a hard one to spot. I look for the pupils to be 2 different sizes. Doesn't always happen, though. Usually seems to be more hyper and talkative and in a good mood. Then, usually angry later maybe the next day - ranting and raving about something. In my experience . . .

whoa biocat!!!
Tell me about pupils being two sizes - i noticed on at least three occasions when my son was still in high school - even mentioned it to him and have thought about that many times = that is a sign of cocaine use???

This is just what I have come up with while observing my bf over the last few years. He will do anything he can get his hands on, but this seems to go along with the coke use. I do think other things can cause it, though.
