Morphology
coked + up
The meaning is partly predictable from the constituents: it is built from 'coke' (the drug) with a particle 'up' that often marks being affected or intensified, so a learner who knows those parts could infer 'under the influence of cocaine'. However, this is informal/slang and the particle's role is somewhat idiomatic and may not be fully transparent to a B1 learner without exposure, so the relation is only partial.
Etymology
The phrase coked up comes from the slang coke for the drug 'cocaine' and the word up, which shows someone is very energetic or 'high'. So coked up means 'under the influence of cocaine' and behaving with lots of energy.
