Short half life: Cocaine has a short half-life in the body of about 1 hour, which means that by 8 hours the body has probably metabolised most of it. However if cocaine is used often, the metabolism can slow and it can remain in the system for longer. It is never a wise idea to mix opiate drugs like suboxone with recreational drugs, as this can cause death (see: numerous dead celebrities). Wait longer to be safe.

May be a problem : The two together can increase serotonin which can lead to a hyperactivity syndrome. It would best for you to discuss with your physician. It may be OK because the half life of the cocaine is about an hour and a half so a lot of it is out of your body

Yes/ no: Yes its safe due to short half life . No because combination may lead to withdrawal symptoms. As a depressant Suboxone reduce the effect of cocaine giving false sense that their body can handle cocaine.
