Effects - Swim wants to know more abut the effects of Cocaine

[malik]

Hi!

Let's get hypothetical here!

So, there is Swim. He is in his 20's and tied Cocaine during the Christmas holidays. He did it 4 times, and never felt hooked even once. Just really liked it.



Swim really liked it. He doesn't think he's addicted because he just started. But he really liked doing it.

Swim smokes cigarettes and doesn't really regret it. Sure it is an addiction that can sometimes be in a pain, but as long as Swim has his cigs he is happy.

Swim doesn't want to get addicted to cocaine because he doesn't know what kind of side effects it can have. Like, when do you crave it? How often? Does it affect a personality and character of a person?

Swim doesn't want to get addicted, but he really likes cocaine! I mean, it gives him a great feeling. He feels more confident and happy.

But Swim doesn't know what Cocaine could do to him. Swim is in University majoring in Social Work. Swim wants to be able to have a good job and he wants to be pretty healthy and happy.

Swim knows the short term effects of cocaine.. And he loves it.

But what about the long terms? Will if possibly affect his grades? Will he spend a ton on it? Will his personality be different? How often would he desire cocaine, and what happens if he doesn't have it for a few days?

Swim has really good friends that have used cocaine for years and they turn out to be just fine. He never even know they did cocaine until recently!

Basically, Swim doesn't want to one day end up in a rehab center where his parents have to cater to him because he is so addicted.

And Swim is conflicted. He has another good friend who did cocaine for 3 years and stopped cold turkey. She turns out just fine! She doesn't have major cravings or anything. Another one of his friends went 5 months without it and was ok. But then Swim knows this guy who was in rehab for months because of drugs.(not sure what kinds.) And Swim feels sad because this man wasted his life when he could have had prosperity. And Swim just doesn't know.

Swim knows that the safest thing to do would be to just not pursue cocaine. It would be and best way to deter any type of addiction that could come. But at this point in time, Swim just doesn't want that as an option. He knows that sounds weird. He wants to, but doesn't.

Ok, so this is hypothetical and I want to know the answers to these questions! Please help finish my hypothetical situation, thanks!
