Whats your opinion on those really shady dealers that lead you into dark alleys and give you something resembling coke. Is it the only way to get the stuff?
Um.. why would you buy any drug from someone that leads you down an alley?
If you're buying cocaine, find some suburbanites who have been into it for years.
If you're buying crack, go to your nearest inner-city and drive down some streets in a bad part of town until someone yells "yo! yooooo!" and has you pull by the curb and will do the deal through the window of your car.
You can try buying powdered or pressed coke in the city, but much like a rave, it will probably be cut to hell.
Oh, and whats the difference b/w powder coke and small shards of crack?
Incase you really honest to god don't know...
Powdered cocaine is the hydrochloric form.
Crack is the impure freebase form.
You snort/inject powdered cocaine, you smoke crack.
Powdered cocaine is often sold in pressed lumps, though and you have to crush and powderize it yourself.
And if I was interested in using cocaine, I would become friends with someone who was into it and have them give me some first and get exposed to it before I went getting ripped off because I didn't know anything like you're going to.
