Chemical poisoning. Daily exposure to toxic chemicals such as alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs (heroine, cocaine, and amphetamines) destroys brain cells at a rapid rate. Other environmental toxins, such as lead and mercury, can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Once inside the brain, these heavy metals kill nerve cells. This helps explain why exposure to heavy metals has been linked to memory and learning problems in children. Even though aluminum is not considered a heavy metal, its accumulation in the brain is believed to contribute to Alzheimer's disease.

It depends on the amount and how long you did the drugs. But most likely yes.

Breathing polluted air also contributes to this, I suggest we all start to fill up our plastic bubbles.

Short answer NO. Long answer YES, because it is not the cocaine itself, it's what else you take while you're on it. Usually it is dope or alcohol that causes memory loss, plus we not in Columbia, so half the time it's not even Coke you're doing, I live in Melbourne.
