good example Joshua..well crack is something else i will tell you..as for me..hell I did/have done everything under the sun and a lot of it..at 31 years old have probably spent well over $550,000 on getting high..everything but heroin..seen to many good friends go down that road..i would recommend not using crack..if you can just stick with snorting some powder and feeling good then stick with that..once that blast hits you from some good prudential(the rock) it's all over with..sure i have known many a person who did it a couple times and never did again..actually lots of folks but to others like me it's really the end all be all..for others it's boy(heroin) or meth..really can't go anymore up from these 3..now there are two types of folks when it comes to stims..there are the coke/crack folks and the meth folks..what i have found is the folks who smoked rock first or did that much more frequently before meth..well they like rock better..folks who tried meth or did meth first like the longer less intense meth rush and don't really like the solid blast of some rock("shh..is someone at the door"..or "is that a helicopter" [after the blast])..with meth it takes a good 3-4 days before the shadow people come out..then it's a different story..crack gets you freakin' high..bug eyed..incoherant..picking at the floor ,even when you have a dub left in your pocket high..meth dudes can function..well pro meth heads can..clean a house..go to work..take stuff apart(not put it back together..heheh), maybe even color a book..crack kicks your ass..bug out for 5 minutes not able to do anything..meth..smoke a pipe 5 or 10 times in a row you are still able to talk, function, be semi-normal..anoither thing..although when you are doing rock you want more more more..till that night or that 3 days is done then you are alright..meth..after that 6 day stay up fest you are looking for more looking for more..meth hooks you..it's addicting long term..crack although super highly addictive AT THE TIME when that binge is done you can go back to being some what normal until that next one..meth although seemingly much more innocent on the surface grabs you whe n you don't expect it where as rock/cocaine grabs you at first but lets loose later on...with me I wnet 5 years snorting a ball or two on the weekends until I was handed that shooter then it was all over with..money flying like crazy..stealing..jail..etc..now things have becomne cool..if I do use it's for a night..grantyed it's no like the old days dub here, 30 there, antoehr dub..it's $300 BAM and thats it..then till next week or next month..plus it's a lot easier to hide a crack pipe in your sock than it is a meth pipe if you get pulled over...shhh
