I tried it for the first time today a few times of varying hit sizes and even got a (admittedly light) 'bellringer'

I still don't understand why people love it so much - especially to the point of having their lips glued to the pipe and ruining their lives over it.

It felt... alright. Nothing close to opiates in terms of Euphoria - and even worse it was gone as quickly as it had come (which i think honestly is really the reason i disliked so much). Like yea it felt good... but good enough to go to the lengths that others go to for this shit? Fuck no. I wouldn't even pay money to obtain it - simply do it if its offered for free (which i highly doubt will ever happen again). And even then i might not even be interested, idk..

What is it about this short lasting, over priced, dirty as fuck drug that people seem to love so damn much?

Edit: I could maybe understand the appeal if i was already high on opiates maybe - as some sort of weird ass version of a speedball. But idk i hadn't tried it that way. Anyways i think i'll leave this drug to the crack heads and likely not touch it again.
 
/\ exactly... And people can change what they like as well. For example two years from now you could be reminiscing about the time you smoked crack, then you start remembering the taste and the high and the actual act of smoking it... Before you know it, you're trying crack again. Might get hooked, might not, who knows. I know for me I was a downer addict mainly heroin all my life but now after being on subs for a year, the only thing I like to do now is meth once a month. No problem for me to keep it at that level of usage. I do a gram every time. And love it. Until I wake up in the morning after. Then it's all about recovering my body for another month until the craving hits again. Rinse and repeat... Been working very well for me as I have my own apartment now, my own car, pay my bills put food on the table... Now just to find a girl that ain't a crazy bitch or a dope fiend themselves...
 
Crack, like any substance, isn't intrinsically addictive and much of its appeal is down to whoever is taking that substance. I know plenty of people who can't stand cocaine but cannot stop smoking weed for example. Likewise I know people who have tried heroin and think it's shit, but will happily snort coke all day long.

Personally I find myself compelled to do coke and so have avoided crack. Out of the stimulants I have tried it's one of the worst as the compulsion is greater than the feeling/benefits it gives you. I definitely think it's overhyped and overpriced. Amphetamine and methylphenidate are far superior.
 
It was 1991, Nirvana concert in Atlanta ... First time I ever tried crack. I was buzzed about 20 mins, then nada.

I enjoyed the speedy feeling from it at the time...I mean, damn good band playing, the rush you got when it 1st hit you, but it was like being in bed with a guy who got off too quick.

Never tried it again.
 
Never done crack, I'm anxious enough without uppers .
To each their own, at least I acan semi understand the allure of uppers, BUT.. Dissociatives? I will never get why people do those .
 
I know.. I had tried them but didn't feel good at all. It lasted for ever, I thought I was either dying or getting crazy.
 
I've never used crack but I have met people who have, and the ones who are more into downers like opiates or alcohol said how smoking crack once or a few times did not do much for them, and how it was not fake since the other person or people who they were with got high from the crack and loved it.
 
Coke has never really floated my boat. More overrated than anal.

LOL, that's a good way of putting it.

When I was using drugs as a teenager/young adult, I tried coke once, and I thought it was OK but a low dose of Adderall/Dexedrine was far better.

I didn't snort it, plug it, smoke it, or IV it since I don't like putting powder up my nose, and the other ROAs were not ways I wanted to do it so I used it orally.

Now the only stimulant I use is caffeine.
 
In my experience, people who have been addicted (especially heavily) to opiates are at the very least, highly resistant to stimulant addiction. IMO the euphoria of the two are so different that when somebody had gone down the road of heroin addiction and withdrawal, coke (TO THEM, mind you not everybody) just seems laughable - if for no other reason that you simply don't get very sick physically coming down from most stims, while a severe opiate addiction has you puking and shitting your guts out, and wishing you were dead, even without the physchological horror associated with it.
