As for cocaine, I've never used it but it certainly seems to grab hold of people with poor self images. Boxer Clifford Etienne made $1 million for the act of getting knocked out by Mike Tyson in about 40 seconds. A few years later, he was flat broke and busted for armed robbery. I have to think that non-stop drug use had something to do with his financial situation. And people leaving rehab for drug addiction seem to make a bee-line straight for a dealer when they are released and "cured". Some things you just don't want to experiment with.
