a stroke from too much cocaine?

Have you ever had one, or know someone who has had a stroke from cocaine ? What age were they ? How often were they using ?

I dont know anyone personally but it could happen. Steven Adler from Guns and Roses had one fairly young but think it was also a speedball.

Oh wow I didn't know about that! I had to google it, it says he had gotten fired from the band because of his drug usage, and a few years later is when he had a stroke by shooting it, he says he accidentally put too much and shot it all in his veins at once and realized he fucked up right away. He was 31 at the time, so yeah that's still pretty young. That makes me wonder what the statistics for how many get strokes from needles, compared to snorting. I can't seem to find anything specifically about it online.

I would imagine the risk is greater but fewer people inject cocaine as well. I doubt there is solid enough info out there to say for sure but if I am bored may look.
