The experience of being high on cocaine is hyper awareness of surroundings, it's like little hands coming out of your head reaching around the room and grabbing on to every single detail. You feel like superman, not only because of the body high, but because you feel like you can navigate your way in any out of any situation you may come across.
If you continue taking the drug for a while you lose perspective, you forget about what's important and why you do anything. It starts to become "how do I game literally everything around me." That's where the lying starts. They are extremely good at reading the room and knowing what they'll get away with.
They lie for even very small things, often things nobody else was even paying attention to. So yes, they are liars. Let alone that the drug is expensive, so they have a very real reason to lie.
I have never been in the presense of someone on cocaine or similar in normal parties or whatever. Can you tell if someone is on coke? You describe it as being hyperaware of everything which sounds like the brain is firing synapses all at once which sounds cool from a certain perspective. But, are users on coke able to act normaly or does their hyperawareness start to speed up their talk rate, twitch, other things?
I mean like when they first start using and are still a kind of normal person, not when they are fully gone as junkies.
Just curious.
It's completely possible to act 100% normal if you're just starting out, it doesn't disconnect you from reality or anything like that. They might appear extremely happy and excited however.
It's possible to be happy and excited without abusing drugs though.
