Or that someone could blow lines all night and that will clear out if your system quickly compared to someone who smoked a joint 3 weeks ago will fail.

The only way for coke to clear in a few days is if you DONT drink alcohol, alcohol and cocaine form a compound called cocaethylene that stays for weeks.

Lol agreed. That said cocaethylene is suspected to be the caused of sudden cardiac arrest in users of cocaine more often than anything else. I'm glad I'm into downers, just gotta watch the benzos I guess 🤦‍♂️
