It has the potential to be very addictive. Most people who try cocaine or use it socially (in small amounts) will never develop a problem but the people who do often destroy their life and the life of everyone around them. When mice are given cocaine and they became addicted if they were then allowed unlimited access to the drug they would kill themselves. They would just keep using until it killed them. Humans typically don't have vast amounts but cocaine addicts with enough cocaine won't be able to stop and will die if they have enough. Luckily cocaine addicts don't typically have access to a lot or else there would be a lot of dead people. The really bad thing about cocaine is that it is not only a stimulant that can damage the heart and cardiovascular system but it is a local anesthetic (it is still used for certain procedures) like lidocaine. Local anesthetics have major cardiovascular properties and because of that cocaine is not only highly addictive but it is worse than almost anything on the heart, even meth is not as hard on the heart.

Its not physically addictive at all its psychological, so it depends on the person, their state of mind, whether they get addicted to things easily, circumstances, how much money theyve got etc

Prob just as addictive as cigarettes. Don't even try it, not worth it.
