What are the short-term effects of being addicted to the drug cocaine?
Question by Ashley: What are the short-term effects of being addicted to the drug cocaine?
I’m writing an article about Nicole Richie. I know that she was addicted to cocaine for four years, I think, and I want to expand on that topic. I want to write about the negative effects of abusing cocaine. It will be a sort of wake up call to those who are abusing cocaine and to those who are thinking about abusing cocaine. Through this article, I want other people to realize that Nicole’s life became better when she stopped using cocaine. She became healthier and happier. Please help. Thanks.

The answer to your question is easy. Just look at Nicole Richie’s old pictures and you’ll get some answers. I’m just kidding. Physically, the pupils of cocaine addicts become dilated. By taking in cocaine, some people develop sleeping problems like insomnia. They may feel restless, anxious and bizarre but sometimes they may feel very energetic and alert. Cocaine users are easily irritated and they usually don’t feel the need to consume food. I think that’s the reason why Nicole Richie is so skinny (although some reports claim that she is anorexic but hey, that’s another thing). Cocaine also affects temperature, blood pressure and heart rate. It also causes the person to behave rather badly sometimes. Cocaine addicts develop a certain aggression which make them very violent at times.
