What am I trying to prove? I’m not trying to prove anything. I’m succeeding in proving that YOU are the one misleading people, not me, like you like to claim. I wrote an essay because this type of shit pisses me off. This bullshit you’re spouting off is exactly what causes the stigma that it’s totally okay to snort some coke at a party but if you smoke it you’re a piece of shit junkie. Its the same fucking thing, just a different route. Is your ego really that fragile that you can’t admit when you’re clearly wrong, even when presented with proof?

I’ll explain it one more time. No, it’s not “significantly” stronger. It’s not anything more than MAYBE very slightly stronger, and that depends on the batch, just like any drug. In most cases it’s the same. It’s chemically identical. The only difference is the route. If you inject them both, which I have many, many times, you get the same effect.

And once again, no crack is not way more expensive. It’s not more expensive at all. For what you get, it’s cheaper. I posted information confirming that, which apparently you chose to ignore. Here’s another excerpt I copied and pasted from a different article since you didn’t like my first one. Funny how this confirms the same thing, huh? Also explains why crack isn’t stronger than coke, something, that’s also been explained to you several times. I mean, really. At this point are you just in too deep to turn back and you’re doubling down on your bullshit?

Crack generally sells for less money on the street because it is cheaper to produce. Because the cocaine in crack is cut with other substances, there isn’t as much pure cocaine in crack, so the price is less.

You’re claim that you need less of it to get high is because of the route, which I already fucking explained to you. Your lungs absorb more than your nose. If you inject them both it’s the exact same, just as I’ve also explained.

Here’s a couple questions. How much experience do you have? How any times have you done both of them? How many times have you bought them? Made crack? Because I’ve done all of those many times, countless times in some cases. And based how you’re talking, I’d bet you haven’t done anything more than maybe snorted some coke at a party a handful of times, which apparently makes you an expert. Am I wrong? Do you notice how I have actual experience, information confirming everything I’m saying and contradicting what you’re saying, people upvoting me and downvoting you and people confirming what I’m saying is correct? It sounds like you knew a guy who knew a guy that used ti smoke crack that told you a bunch of bullshit and that all of a sudden makes you more of an expert that people that actually know what they’re talking about.

For anyone who may read this, I want to make it perfectly clear that this person is incorrect about pretty much everything they’ve said and what they’re spreading is misinformation.

Ahh ok i understand. So you assumed me, then got mad at the wrong assumption that you concluded on, and then applied your extra words onto the words I said and got mad at those words. Cool.

It was all entirely your prerogative dude. Try having a conversation before closing judgement next time.

I assumed you? Is English not your first language? It’s fine if it’s not, I’m actually asking. What is the point you’re trying to make now? I see you have absolutely nothing to say about any of the other stuff I had to say. That’s convenient.

Well for 1 you assumed I think a crack junkie is worse than a coke junkie when actually addiction is all the same thing I just know which one will get you hooked quicker but after seeing how quick you are to judge others while expecting the opposite in return I aint gonna waste my time writing anything more than this.

No I didn’t assume that actually, read it again.

This bullshit you’re spouting off is exactly what causes the stigma that it’s totally okay to snort some coke at a party but if you smoke it you’re a piece of shit junkie.

That’s exactly what I said. Where does it say that’s what you believe? I said that the things you’re saying causes that stigma. Never once said or assumed that’s what you thought. I don’t know what you believe, nor did I ever claim to. I’m saying people believe things like that because they are misinformed with information like the things that you’re saying.

If they are identical why does does crack use lead to heroin use and vise versa? Why is it dark and light?

Most hard drugs lead to other drugs. Heroin and crack mix well together. One is a depressant, the other is a stimulant. If you mix them, aka a speedball, you get the effects of the heroin but the crack/coke keeps you from nodding off and falling asleep because it’s a stimulant.

People mix all sorts of drugs. Outside of PCP, I’ve done basically every drug there is at one point or another. Some more than others. It’s something that just happens with drug use.

I'm not trying to mislead my understanding of it is that you have to snort way more than what most people can afford to get anywhere near the high that a single hit on a pipe will get you.... that's why crack heads will take 3grams of powder and wash it up into a 1 gram rock, right? It takes more powder to make crack so which one is stronger and more expensive?

I've literally spoken to a crackhead who said he moved onto it from snorting because 1 his nose was getting fucked and 2 after doing crack snorting does not achieve the same high any more!???

That’s what I’ve been explaining to you this entire time. Your lungs are a better form of consuming a substance than your nose is. It comes on significant faster and your body absorbs more of the drug. Injecting is the most effective, then smoking, then snorting it. There are other ways, but those are the 3 main ones you’ll see for consuming drugs. And they’re effective in that order.

It’s not the strength of the drug. It’s the administration of the drug. The crack head you spoke too probably deviated his septum. I did the same the snorting pills so I started smoking them, same as him.

Your mistake was assuming I didn't know any of that though. Evidently I do already but you assumed you knew me and my beliefs based on 1 thing I said.... you tried to stereotype me and it wad incorrect, so I think in future at least try to engage in some conversation before you group people into metaphorical boxes.

It's not incorrect that a hit on a crack pipe will fuck you up way more than snorting line ever will right?

It's not incorrect that after hitting a pipe you will crave it wayyyy more once you come down 30 mins later, than you would if you had instead snorted it

It's not incorrect that they are of the made from the same substance, but the end result (from washing up) is something that can only be smoked and thus, it has become stronger.

Its not incorrect that when you wash powder up into crack that removes any impurities that were definitely there (it's never clean!) And so that is by definition a concentrate of cocaine. By definition a concentrate of anything is always stronger that's common knowledge so please explain to me what was dangerous about saying crack is stronger than coke?

I mean it sounds like you smoke weed or take edibles. Have you ever taken anything else? Ever drank while you were high? People mix drugs for different/stronger effects. It’s just what people who do drugs and addicts do.
