Only while on the drug... Most certainly not after it has worn off.

Yes, but if you use it a lot, you can get paranoid even when not on the drug, and the hallucinations can appear too. But that's only if you're really hooked on the stuff, if you take a heck of a lot of it, like, 1970's a heck of a lot of it.

No, seriously. Cocaine can have pretty major psychological effects, but that requires that you take it in through your nose. Eating it will result in the keeling-over almost comatose sleep I mentioned.

Cannabis is not such a good idea, since it's easy to detect (i.e. smell) and when she smells it, the woman is sure to get the hell out of wherever she smells it.

Crystal meth will mess you up, but I don't recommend using it in a story. It actually destroys your brain. CAT scans clearly show holes in a brain after sustained use. It also alters personality, usually permanently after not much use.

Perhaps that just might be a good idea.

.....he's also destroyed what made her the person he loved.

Burning holes in one's brain (crystal meth) is a very effective way of changing one's personality extremely dramatically.

On the other hand, a rebar through the forehead will do the same. I'm not joking; some railroad worker in the late 19th century IIRC had an accident where a steel rod was blown clean through the side of his forehead. He survived, but he was a radically different person after that, got sacked and spent the rest of his life traveling with a circus sitting on a chair with a steel rod in his head. Then again, this might not be such a good idea for the story.....
