This makes it very hard for a recovering addict to stay clean. If you're a chronic abuser there is an increase in paranoia and hallucinations. Overdoses of cocaine may lead to aggressiveness, sleep deprivation, headaches and heaviness in the limbs. These are signs of cocaine poisoning which precede the convulsions, fainting, and loss of respiration which are associated with cocaine overdoses. The fatal dose of cocaine may range from 20 milligrams (a pinch of salt) to as much as 1.2 grams (a grown mans thumb nail) of cocaine. Other indicators of cocaine influence is:
              Possession of common cocaine packaging items (vials, bindles, etc.)

              Fresh injection sites (when cocaine is injected)
              Wearing sunglasses to avoid detection of dilated pupils and limit the amount of light allowed through the dilated pupils.
