Answer by Lindz
Cocaine and canabis are two diffrent highs. Cocaine is a stimulant so it keeps you awake and speeds up your body (in simple terms). Cannabis does the opposite. Your friend had a lapse tonight. It is possible she could not go into a full relapse just be there to talk to her and listen.

Answer by Heather Mccracken
The possible short-term effects of cocaine are -loss of appetite;
faster breathing;
raised heart rate;
raised blood pressure;
an increase in body temperature which leads to sweating;
dilated pupils; and
strange, erratic, at times violent behaviour.
