Many cocaine addicts lose weight extremely quickly, which is why females who are homeless, pale, and extremely emaciated are sometimes called by various unflattering monikers which will not be mentioned here. Crack cocaine can quickly drop off pounds and make the person as skinny as a rake. Cocaine and weight loss has a long sordid past and they are often associated in conjunction with the modeling industry, the stripping industry, and just about any other line of work which involves weight loss, good looks, and a fast way to get there. In other words, weight loss may not be just a side effect of a preexisting addiction, but instead it may be the end which the individual wishes to achieve. In many cases, cocaine and weight loss are connected in order to explain healthy weight loss in individuals of whom someone is jealous. It is simply an easy way to destroy a reputation and explain how much better they may appear. However, cocaine addiction usually drop weight down to a dangerous low and this is apparent in the way the individual appears, with bones and rib cage prominent and shaky arms and legs, and extremely high energy which make them appear as if they need to visit the restroom.
Cocaine and weight loss is also associated in less desirable settings, such as homelessness, prostitution and many other forms of trafficking which involve desensitization to pain and shame. Such situations cause simply to be able to deal with the pain or the stress involved of what they are about to do. In fact, many premeditated murders occur after a killer has become high on cocaine because of how stressful the act is that they are about to perform. Any act which does not occur naturally within the human brain or the human lifestyle needs a heavy-handed escape, and drugs and alcohol perform this function quite effectively.
In the workplace, of course, this behavior is unprofessional and does not inspire confidence in either clients or coworkers. You must, therefore, regulate such behavior by monitoring it through the use of drug and alcohol testing.
