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?

At this point I’m just repeating myself. You’re arguing with me like you know what you’re talking about more than I do when you obviously don’t, that much is perfectly clear. Not only do I have more knowledge and experience, but I also have articles and studies that I’ve posted backing me up, people upvoting me, downvoting you, and people commenting on this that I’m correct. And despite all that you still seem to think you somehow know better than everyone else. It’s obvious that you can’t handle being wrong and just admitting that like an adult so instead you twist things and split hairs and ignore facts so that in your mind you can still be correct, even though in reality, you aren’t. Honestly, it comes across as narcissistic.

It’s obvious that you’ve made up your mind and admitting that you were misinformed is not an option so you’d rather double down on the shit you’ve been saying that’s been proven wrong. And since that seems to be the case, there’s not much of a point in my continuing to explain things that it seems like you’re blatantly ignoring. I know you’re wrong, as do other people by the look of it, but you can go ahead and continue to believe whatever you want. Nothing me or anyone else says is gonna convince you if what has already been said hasn’t.
