Team Coke or Team Meth?
This seems to the be the question of the week but I haven't landed one way or the other.
Personally I don't know anything about identifying drug usage in people so I'm going to hit up some facts and science from the internet and see how each drug aligns with Chantal's behavior as it has been presented to us. Let's see where we end up.

Team Meth
Well... I thought that exercise was going to be more enlightening than it actually was. One takeaway though is that meth seems to fit every single category for Chantal's actions for the last several months.
For that reason, I'm team Meth for sure.
But Also Team Coke?
However, Coke seems to really have a place here and the theory from FFG that Chantal was doing a little something something earlier this year could hold weight considering this coke information. (Maybe even towards the end of last year?)
For example, at the end of 2020 and early 2021:

Team Definitely Meth but Probably Also Coke.
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Also how much googling about drugs gets you put on some kind of government list? Asking for myself.

Behavior | Coke | Meth | Advantage |
Eating Habits | "cocaine users reported significantly higher levels of dietary fat and carbohydrates as well as patterns of uncontrolled eating" Coke users eat more calories than non-coke users. "cocaine’s anorexic effects are relatively transient with intake of food delayed but not actually reduced" | Lack of appetite but craving for sugar | Meth. (Twisty Misty) (But Coke seems aligned with binges of early 2021) |
Weight | "Cocaine use was associated with reductions in body weight and these were remarkably specific to fat mass." | Sudden unexplained weight loss | Tossup |
Length of high | 20-60 minutes | 12+ hours | Meth (high for hours) |
Pupils | Dilated | Dilated | Tossup |
Psychological Effects | euphoric, energetic, talkative, mentally alert, and hypersensitive to sight, sound, and touch. | euphoria, delusions, self-confidence, aggression, confusion, memory loss, paranoia, break from reality | Definitely meth, maybe botth |
Physical effects | tremors, muscle spasms, teeth grinding or clenching the jaw, and vertigo a chronic runny nose or frequent nosebleeds | nausea, feeling hot or cold, increased libido, liver disease & damage, loss of elasticity of the skin, acne or picking scars | Both |
Behavioral Effects |
|
| Both |
Characteristics of typical users | Cocaine users have more episodic use patterns, spend more money on purchasing their drugs, and use alcohol more heavily. Men use at double the rate of women. | Methamphetamine users include a higher proportion of women, more frequently use on a daily basis, use marijuana more often, and experience more severe medical and psychiatric consequences. People who are bored, angry or depressed turn to meth in the hopes it will make them feel better. Women are also at risk because of a desire to lose weight, increase confidence, have more energy for multiple responsibilities or because their partner uses meth | Meth |

For example, at the end of 2020 and early 2021:
- She weighed over 400 for the first time that we know of
- Surprise loss of 10 lbs after doing nothing in late Dec 2020
- Chantal was constantly gorging on fatty meals (coke users consume more fat and carbs)
- There were smug declarations that she wasn't gaining weight despite daily binges that seemed out of control even for her (intuitive eating time frame)
- Getting up at 7am (that's not our gorl)
- Nosebleeds beginning in late Dec 2020
- Weird workout vid, Only fans etc in early 2021 (needed money, impulsive behavior)
- The shorter highs of coke would have allowed her to keep making videos during that time frame.
