It may be possible, so contact a local lawyer who practices in this area.

It is possible that a judgment creditor in one state can sue on the judgment in your state and have it entered as a lien in your state on your house. If the out of state judgment was gotten properly, i.e. with all due process requirements being met, you will not have an opportunity to contest the facts of the complaint. The court will rule that you had your chance in the other court to do that.

Probably, in most cases a judgment is entered against the defendant.

When using cocaine do you lose your sense of judgment?

Yes and no. When I was younger I tried cocaine and didn't feel like I lost any sense in judgment, just felt a sense of euphoria. However, it is addictive, so in a sense, you can lose your sense in judgment because you can throw your life away on it. Losing your sense in judgment that way should be enough to keep you away from cocaine.
