I don't get all the hate for the "crack" thing, tbh. Everyone knows that meff is not actual crack.
Crackpipe rolls off the tongue better than meffpipe or pip or whatever the fuck (glassy is the only contender imo)
Crackhead rolls off the tongue better than meffhead or tweaker or whatever
I know the proper names of a lot of drugs, all the ones I come across at least, but I rarely use "correct" terms because people already know what the slang is and I'm not finna start some drug nerd movement.
People will also take your HR advice less seriously if you're hung up on trivialities like that ime. Drug culture, the quality of street drugs, the people you get them off... there's no place for acting pompous in such an environment. I mean, if you wanna call pharms by their proper name? Cool in a lot of cases, but if you were calling xannies alprazolam and dexies dextroamphetamine you're taking it too far imo. You wanna call impure and cut drugs synthed in poor conditions peddled by bikies by their proper name (all the time)? P-leeeeeeeeeeease.
If I was out partying and someone was correcting peoples terms for drugs and shit (as opposed to confirming what they're talking about) I would probably try to avoid them based on that quality alone.. that's just me though.
Was that was aimed at me?
Never said much about running around party's, advocating with my trumpet, and flags waving about yelling "you all know nothing, god damn you's".
When someone says meth (wait, sorry meff), and I don't know them from a bar of soap. For all I know thier on MMT.
And I'd probably walk from someone doing as I stated above (the flag raging 'advocate').
It's good you know a lot of names of drugs. I know a dude who was on alprazolam for years. But brand name Xannax, of course. When he run dry one day, I mentioned someone with alprazolam. He was like 'what?', nar, one addictions enough for me. I had to correct him for HRs sake, does that bother you? Because that's my example, I'd advocate with mates the proper names. As for dealers or 'associates' um, yeah, of course you ain't going to go into a full blown war into what he said is in the bag.
Pompous enough for you? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease......
And yeah, we all know 'crack' rolls of the toungue better, might even sound cooler to some. But 'crack-cocaine' for 'methamphetamine'! That's going a
tad too far for anyone's liking.
