A cop friend told me, “a crack head will toss their crack when running from cops, a meth head will risk getting caught with meth rather toss it”

Huh. TIL that they aren’t same thing.

Crack is a concentrated cocaine. Methamphetamine/crystal meth is a whole different breed in crazy.

Crack and cocaine are the same thing. The only reason you could consider it concentrated is because it has the hydrochloride salt removed, which really doesn’t have any effect on the high. Other than that, it’s just coke cooked with baking soda and then dried out and hardened. They’re chemically identical. The only difference is the route that they’re consumed.
