The present phenomenological study aims to understand the experience of cocaine use from the experience of a user. Phenomenology allows the understanding of the phenomenon from the description of the experience of the lived, requiring a singular reading and far from any generalization. A case study was carried out from the material obtained during the psychotherapeutic follow - up of the patient / participant with the psychologist / researcher. The transcribed data were obtained through open interview, from the trigger question "how do you understand the meaning of your cocaine use". For the discussion of the case study we used the theoretical-methodological contribution based on the contributions of the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, presenting the concepts of freedom, anguish and bad faith. As a result of the study, it was verified the consumption of this substance in the contemporaneity as a result of the time of the urgency of being happy and in the attempt of the escape of the anguish.

Keywords : Case study; Jean-Paul Sartre; Existential Phenomenology; Use of cocaine; Contemporaneity.
