Because it is a highly addictive drug. Although cocaine is not physically addictive (meaning, there are no physical withdrawal symptoms, like there are with alcohol and heroin), it is extremely psychologically addictive.
Cocaine works by disrupting the brain's natural dopamine recycling process. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that is responsible for producing feelings of pleasure. Cocaine disrupts the dopamine recycling process, which leads to a buildup of dopamine (and a feeling of intense euphoria).
Unfortunately, the intense euphoria that comes from a line of cocaine only lasts about 20 minutes. And then you start craving more of it. When you finally run out of cocaine, after about 20 to 30 minutes, horrible feelings of depression and anxiety set in. This is called a "comedown."
Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that you will never, ever feel as bad as you do during a cocaine comedown. You loathe yourself so much, you just want to kill yourself. The feelings of sadness and despair are unbearable; you can't stand being awake, but you can't sleep (because cocaine is a powerful stimulant). And the more cocaine you have done, the worse the comedown will be when you stop. And a cocaine comedown lasts for awhile. The worst part lasts about 18 to 24 hours, but you don't feel completely well again for at least a few days.
This is how people get addicted to cocaine. They feel very depressed after doing cocaine, and the only way they can feel well again is to 1) stop doing it for a long time (like, a few months) until their brain chemistry returns to normal, or 2) do more of it. More often than not, they choose the latter (to do more of it). It becomes a vicious cycle: after a cocaine high, the person feels so awful, that all they can think about is getting more cocaine. But the more cocaine they do, the worse they feel. And the worse they feel, the more cocaine they do.

WHY DO PEOPLE DO COCAINE EVEN WHEN IT STARTS TO MAKE THEM PARANOID?
People may continue using cocaine despite experiencing paranoia due to the drug's intense euphoria and stimulating effects, which can create a powerful desire to seek out those feelings again. Additionally, the addictive nature of cocaine can lead to a cycle of dependency, where users prioritize the drug's short-term rewards over the negative consequences. Peer pressure, social environments, and underlying mental health issues can also contribute to continued use despite adverse effects. Ultimately, the allure of the high can overshadow the awareness of its dangers.
