Cocaine Eats Your Brain
"Cocaine may speed up the aging of the brain, according to new research that finds that people who are addicted to the drug lose twice the brain volume each year as non-drug users."
"Stop with those fuggin' drugs. They're makin' your mind into mush. You hear me? Take 'em back!"
Yes, but coke heads are twice as big jerks as non-users, so there's some compensation.

I wonder if are they looking at users who only use cocaine, or if the study's subjects are using in combination with alcohol, prescription drugs, or opioids to come down. Given the anecdotal evidence of a random sample of all the fuck-ups I know, I'm sure heavy alcohol consumption in concert with use had at least something to do with the results.
@Printersanonymous article states that they removed those with alcohol addiction and saw the same results
