It depends on a few things. Firstly how much does s?he use?? There is a big difference between being a casual user and an addict (damn the government for scaremongering). If he's a casual user and in control of it then there may not be anything to worry about. Does he have a strong personality?? Does he have an addictive personality?? More information please!!
In general though, cocaine is highly addictive and expensive too. It gives you a big boost, makes you feel more confident, makes you talk a lot of BS, gives you a lot of energy etc. Do you see these traits in your friend a lot?? Does he often appear wide-eyed and over alert?? The downside is that cocaine drains you, leaves you feeling like shite the day after and in a bad mood, and the easiest way to get over that is another load of coke, leading to a downward spiral.
As for talking to him about it, no need to beat around the bush, just come right out with it, his reaction will tell you a lot, wether he's willing to talk about it or wether he looks guilty, ashamed, embarassed etc.
Fat Mike, if it doesn't drain you then you're a lucky guy, it always leaves me in a bit of a mess the following day, though not as much as pills and speed.

Speed and Base have the worst come down of all. At least on a pill comedown you can sleep it off. I think billie and base is dirty shit anyway. Turns people doo-lally. I know plenty of speed freaks. It is mentaly addictive and can turn people into a mess.

Hey!! I used to be a speed freak, but that's taking it back a while. Never got into a mental mess but those comedowns are absolute killers. I'd have to rate pills above speed on just about every criteria apart from raw energy.

E comedowns are a hell of a lot better for me these days. Used to take like 2 days to get over it, but I think the more you do it, the less coemdown you have and just feel a bit knackered, no more than going out and having a skin full.
As for speed, only done it 2-3 times and never again. The comedown is awful and sometimes leave you feeling like shit all week.

Coke never leaves me feeling anything other than like Im gonna die if I dont get more lmfao!
Pills they just leave me a bit mash up untill I can catch up on the sleep Ive missed *looking at the clock now...oooppppssss*
After reading all the posts about Cocaine and it's effects, I am even more glad it doesn't do anything for me. Doesn't sound like something I'd want to be associated with. I didn't know that it would make you look all night for it on the ground, thought that was just Crack.
Snorting a drug, anyway, kinda gives off that stereotypical image, like a Junkie or something, Just because of the way you take it.. Hovering over a table with a straw/dollar/papper stuck up your nose... or whatever is available at the time, then revealing the loud sniffing sound. hehe it really looks horrible. And some people use mirrors... To see yourself desperately sniffing every last crum of that powder... ughhhh
..only if you are a girl it will also mess up your cycle.. no periode at all, or when you least expect it.. grrr.
Tell your friend to be careful .. there s not much more you can do I am afraid.
