coke and hair loss?

[dancinkyd]

has anyone ever experienced or heard of coke being the cause of people losing their hair?

Not from occasional use. Hair loss is usually a sign of malnutrition -- it happens to anorexics quite frequently. someone with a coke addiction generally doesn't eat much (b/c coke kills your appetite) or take care of their health otherwise, so hair loss could result from overall poor health as a result of using too much.

Is this hair loss as evidenced by seeing it places (on pillow, shower, etc) or by noticing spots w/ less hair? I bet it might be possible for excessive use to trigger some OCD type behaviors...not common but possible.

Hair loss can also be attributed to stress, which you are causing to your body when you do speed. Lay off the speed, try to reduce stress, and see what happens.
