my ex partner was addicted to drugs a few years ago and during our relationship of 1.5 years she did do and say some strange things and behaviour was irrational at times.

what effects can drugs like cocain have on a persons brain/personality later in life like say 6 years later even if they are totally clean now?

Answer by TinyEMT
Drugs can affect a person’s behavior long after they have stopped using drugs.it is believed that a person’s brain is programmed to stop developing when someone is using drugs so when they stop using,they tend to act the age that they were when they started.some of the chemicals in their brain may now be off balance and could be sending them messages to do things that make no sense at the time or seem inappropriate.Depending on the type of drugs used,how much was used,and for how long;the effects could be short lived or they can last forever,sometimes even getting worse.It all depends on the damage caused by the persons drug use.

i just want facts about my question.

First of all, please refrain from abusing me. I already know I am a naive idiot. I let my meth addict cousin borrow our a car. He didn’t return it. About 6 wks later we tracked it down and took it back with an extra key. He told him mother it was stolen and he made a police report. He claims the police are going to mail him a copy of the report. I called the police dept but didn’t get any info. BTW, the police are the ones who told me to go ‘get your car’. They wouldn’t take a report from me because I gave him the keys. Lesson learned…never let anyone borrow your car.
