Yes it does. It starts within seconds of snorting the cocaine, and lasts for several hours. Depending on how much you do and how long. I should know my heart rate is rather increased right now, and yes I did take the drug. Don't ever get into it. It's not healthy. My best friend nearly had an overdose last night.
