 I think my roomate has a coke habit...

So yea, like 3 weeks ago it was one of my roomates b-days, so we went out and got some (alot) of drinks and then came back to the pad. My other roomate (roomate #2) invites me into his room to knock down a rail or two. Fucking sweet! Coke really isn't my thing, but the golden rules of coke have not let me down thus far. Oh...the rules....
1. Don't buy it.
2. Don't sell it.
3. Don't turn it down.
So we take down the rails and I ask him if he has a good hook up now or something....and he says "pfff, yea I got like five." That kinda caught me off guard cause he used to follow the rules. Whatever though, he is smarter than that I think. Well I was talking with my other roomate this week and he tells me he was taking them down with roomate #2 a couple days ago.
Well that got me thinking. Roomate #2 has been with this girl for like a year now and we rarely see him anymore. Pussy whipped like you won't believe, but that's another story. Anyways, whenever he is home, he is always crammed up in his room. Could that be because he is always coked out and doesn't want us to know? His gf is really hyper and high strung naturally, thats just how she is. Honestly being as laid back and as big of stoners that we are I don't know how he can stand being with her everyday. Is the only way he can keep up with her to blow coke?
The other thing that gets me is he is always complaining about being broke. I haven't had a solid job since Feb. and I am getting by without being "broke". He has a job where he gets paid $6.50/hr and about $60-$100 in tips every night...and he works like 30-35 hours a week. Also, his parents pay his rent, car insurance, cell phone bill. His only expense is our bills, which is like $100 a month. How can he possibly be broke. Not to mention he gets most of his smoke for free. The only thing I can think that he is spending his cash on is coke...and that bothers the fuck out of me. Especially since we used to live with a guy who had a serious coke problem, and he was the one that helped me intervene.
Whenever his gf and him are at our house they always just stay in his room...which is wierd. But about 15 mintues ago the two of them come up into my room to see what I am doing. They were obviously coked up. Talking my ear off about nothing at all really asking me if they could borrow a bud or two.
I am 90% sure he has developed a problematic habit. What should I do? Not say anything and hope that I am wrong? Or should I bring it up to him? He has alot going for him with his parents paying for school and most of his living expenses, I would hate to see him blow it all away...literally.

Man, sounds like my last roommate, like to a tee. I suspected him and his girlfriend of having a coke habit too. They would just stay in his room and fuck all the time, he always avoided eye contact with me, and now that I think of I did notice his pupils were pretty huge a few times... nuts.

Look out for nose bleeds. Also, if you think he's coked up, try to feed him bread or crackers. It'll be like a dog eating peanut butter if he is on coke. My guess is that you knew that though.

haha, yea i know. I just hate this shit. I hate having to be the one to step in all the time. I mean, seriously, it's really sad when I have to be the voice of reason. If you knew me personally you might understand 
What's really wierd is that I am starting to see more and more of my father in me. So many people confide thier deepest secrets in him and come to him for advice. I meet so many of his friends that tell me that he was like a 2nd father to them and what not. He is always being asked to get up and say a word at weddings and funerals and shit. I mean I know that's a great thing, but I don't know if I really want to become someone like that...you know, like someone so many people rely on.

First, I think coke blows (no pun intended). Who looks back at their coke/heroin habits fondly, seriously? And to put that in perspective, my father died from it. Not an OD, mind you, but a bit of blow and a heart that stops in your late 30's is easy math.
Second, if he handles his responsibilities to you then that's that. It's his body.
Third, if he isn't handling his responsibilities to others then you owe it to him, as a friend, to say so. This is just my opinion but IMO your job ends at speaking your mind. Stop there.
That's just my opinion. I could be wrong. =)

So he works more than you, has a girlfriend, goes to school, has a place to live, and pays his bills on time.
Where the fuck is the drug "problem"? Just because he uses? C'mon....

Yeah man wait til you come home and all your shit has been stolen and sold to a pawn shop. I'm walking down the street one day and look into a pawn shop window and there was my stereo receiver, dead sticker on the top and all. Fuckin' cokehead roomie stole all my vinyl, my stereo, clothes, etc. and sold em. Like I wouldn't find out it was him.

Half the kids I know at school are on blow. They seem fine. I'm doing okay for myself.
Contrary to popular belief and what you may have read on the internet, it IS possible to use cocaine responsibly and NOT wake up some day in a wet gutter covered in someone elses bodily fluids.

Nothing good comes from cocaine use.
Eventually you alter your brains dopamine network enough(from repeated use) that you will never be same person. The pleasures of life will no longer be the same. Only cocaine will fill the hole.
For most people this takes years and years of hardcore abuse.
But it is the inevitable outcome 80% of the time.
Not come off the wrong way here. But from personal experience...i've seen it happen repeated times. I myself struggle with the addiction still.
Once you cross a certain point, its hard to turn back.
Just be aware.
