I don't see him going to prison for recreational use of cocaine. I do, however, see him possibly losing his job. If I had someone working for me that was using cocaine and it was clearly effecting his work in a very negative way, I'd contact HR and get him out and strongly recommend drug counseling immediately. Lube isn't this guy's boss, though. This guy's bosses aren't doing anything to fix a rather serious problem. I've seen this before and it's called bad management.
As for career ending, probably not. He'll possibly lose several prospects for a new job, but ending his career? Nah.

If you were anything like me, you stopped as soon as you realized it was having a negative effect. The man in question has already passed this point.
