Can Cocaine Make You Be Able to Take a Bullet?
Question by Joe S: Can cocaine make you be able to take a bullet?
I just watched Scarface, and I was wondering about the end. Obviously that is all Hollywood, but would someone on a cocaine binge be able to take gunshot wounds anything remotely like that? I mean I know that coke is an anesthetic and is a vasoconstrictor, which would definitely numb pain and slow bleeding. Plus the strong stimulant effects could possibly get you hyped up enough to keep going.

It would definitely make the bullets easier to take. Coke was actually used as a pain killer for eye surgeries way back in the day i believe.

cocaine constricts blood vessels very well. It would be hard to bleed out. Just remember the last scene in scarface. He did a lot of cocaine then got shot about a hundred times before it could kill him.
