Yeah Crack is the number 1 hard drug i guess you could call it around here and as Crack pipes are a way of spreading Hep C they give out glass stems with a mouth piece to stop you from blistering your lips on them in the first place plus if there is only one stem between a crowd of people everyone can just keep their own mouthpiece and that way there is no direct contact with the pipe between different people so you aren't spreading Hep C around. The last time i was out there i picked up a load of screens too because i use them in my weed pipe too. Smoking out of a stem with a mouth piece and screens sure beats the old coke can method though that does bring back fond memories all the same
And yeah a IV coke habit is fucking psychological torture. I did way more damage to my veins in maybe only a month of IV coke use then i did with 6 years of IV opiate use. I had never reused a needle before i started banging coke as i was too scared of the risks such as infection. abscesses, cotton fever, etc. But all i cared about was that rush that starts leaving you as soon as you take the needle out of your arm so harm reduction went out the window. After i quit after maybe 3 months of use (or the first time i quit) it took me months to feel half way normal again.
