Hamlet the Coke Addict?

So, we chatted in class briefly about the possibility of Hamlet having a cocaine addiction that leads to his strange behavior in the play. I thought this seemed like a viable addition to the play and decided to look up the effects.

Cocaine Effects:
Varies with dose and the tolerance of the user. Increases alertness, wakefulness, elevates the mood, mild to high degree of euphoria, increases athletic performance, decreases fatigue, clearer thinking, increases concentration, increases energy, increased irritability, insomnia, restlessness. With high doses may exhibit a pattern of psychosis with confused and disorganized behavior, irritability, fear, paranoia, hallucinations, may become extremely antisocial and aggressive.

Many of the negative effects listed are showcased in Hamlets actions throughout the play. From his stellar fencing performance to his paranoid suspicion of everyone in the court, Hamlet may have been just a little strung out in the end.
