21. Coke use: "newfound confidence frequently turns to arrogance"

As written by a recovering coke addict:

http://www.channel4.com/health/microsites/0-9/4health/drugs/ust_mike.html

'When you're "sniffed up" on coke it gives you more energy and confidence. These happen to be, in my opinion, two of the most important ingredients for success in life. Without doubt I have met more people whilst on cocaine and ecstasy than at any other point in my life (unfortunately, I remember very few of them). This is why it is not just misguided youths doing it, but stockbrokers, television personalities and even doctors. However it isn't all a bed of roses. You can only maintain excellence and coherence if it is good quality and you do it in small amounts. High quality coke if done in these "small amounts" and if good quality does make you perform with a higher degree of excellence in many ways. This applies especially to people with low self-esteem, who are perhaps more prone to addiction. After all, what person who doesn't feel that great about themselves wouldn't want bags of extra confidence?

<snip>
The problem is that few people can continue in moderation, since cocaine is so addictive. Also, the newfound confidence frequently turns to arrogance, which is not a much-liked quality.

<snip>

When you do large quantities of coke your muscles begin to seize up and your vision becomes blurred. You also get hot and often begin to "gurn". This is when you continually move your jaw around tensing and untensing the jaw muscle. This occurs with worse severity with lower quality coke and whilst on ecstasy.

This guy's got his finger on the US nukular button... think about THAT!

[AirmensMom]

11. That's what I was thinking.

[fiveleafclover]

6. Good video

As hard as I tried, I couldn't even get through half of it. That guy drives me nuts.

[Mnemosyne]

7. It's just sickening to know that a freaking

crackhead is our "leader". Scratch that, I have compassion for the crackheads, not that one though.

[Anywho6]

8. I wonder if he wears a nightguard

At the end of eight years, he's going to be known as George "The Toothless One" Bush from all the grinding the dude does. Man, he was just hatin' life during that press conference, wasn't he? He looks so annoyed!! I love it!!

[goclark]

18. Someone asked on another thread what happened to his teeth

His teeth are disappearing!

Is that what happens to junkies?

[renate]

9. I googled "coke jaw," and of course

came up with nothing but references to Bush--I couldn't find any reliable, unbiased sources.

However, when I tried "cocaine" and "tic," I found this article from the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry--a pretty unimpeachable (ha ha!) source:

http://jnnp.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/68/6/738

From the abstract, this:
Adults with new onset tics were more likely to have a symptomatic or secondary tic disorder, which in this series was caused by infection, trauma, cocaine use, and neuroleptic exposure.

And from the discussion:
Almost one third of the patients in this series reported the onset of tics after a clear inciting event, including neck strain, head injury, local infection, cocaine binge usage, and exposure to neuroleptic drugs, all conditions known to precipitate tics....
In our cases of secondary tic disorders, and among adult onset post-traumatic cases described in the literature, about half had a history of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive traits, or a family history of tic disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, all biological substrates often linked to primary, or idiopathic, tic disorders.

Neuroleptic drugs are antipsychotic meds, by the way.

On the other hand, maybe the tic is from neck strain or a head injury--he IS always falling off his bike.

Whoops--edited to correct the name of the journal.
