    I mean, realistically, if everyone was addicted to crack, literally everyone, it wouldn’t be that different. Crack would be way more available, likely with like, crack restaurants and shit. Poor people would basically crack-starve the way they food starve now. Same shit, different day. Except now we know the governmental officials are high as fuck, instead of just suspecting as much.

    And I imagine my house would be cleaner. Zip zip zip.

      If it happened all at once, but crack supply didn’t also grow at the same instant, a lot of people would be crashing in a few hours

        Realistically almost everyone would have a bad year and a lot of recovered crackheads would relapse.

          Neither does weed but that’s illegal. And, drinking too much alcohol destroys your body and kills you. The legality of a substance doesn’t really align with what things are healthy and safe to consume.

            I don’t know how something that dry your eating hole out would be good for your grill.

            I mean, I’m not a grill scientist. I could be wrong.

                Yes, yes, certainly.

                Mmhhmm

                I don’t know how something that dries your mouth so terribly can be good for your teeth.

                I mean, I’m no dentist. Maybe I’m wrong.

                  I wasn’t reading it correctly before, I’m too high I guess lmao

                  I just find I drink a lot more water to keep my mouth from being dry, and I don’t think that is bad for me

      Actually no, because it takes a lot of space to plant coca plants. We don’t have enough space for everyone to constantly have crack cocain

        Yeah we do brother, crack cocaine actually takes less coke to make than regular coke, because you get 8x as much from the cocaine.

        7 parts baking soda to 1 part cocaine = 1 gram of coke turns into 8 grams of crack.

        Remember federal agent who may be watching, Master P taught me this, not living in a ghetto that you created.

          7 parts baking soda to 1 part coke is straight up criminal, it’s a highway robbery if they want me to pay something, the mix should be 1:1

          I know this for… Reasons

              Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard someone say about drugs.

              When you have more filler, your product is less potent, that means you have to actually do more. Saying something as ignorant as “no way 7:1 works at all” when you could go and smoke like a gram of it and get crazy fucked up as if it were a 1/10th gram.

              Yes, there are people that do shit that are cut that hard. If you don’t think so, you haven’t been around the block that long.

                  Goddamn dude why in the fuck are you such an angry fucking asshole? Stop being such a fucking dickhead.

                  Duh, no shit it won’t all bind to it, nobody claimed that it did. That doesn’t mean motherfuckers will not try to stick as much baking soda as they can to coke. What you said right there doesn’t prove your point against mine whatsoever like you think it does.

                  You’re also assuming that they aren’t using other shit to make it bind. Not all crack is just coke and baking soda, you claim to be smart but fail to realize that there are other things that can and are used as binders. I know because I’ve watched it happen before. Unlike you though, I’ve never been stupid enough to get hooked on crack. Cocaine is a pretty shitty drug to get hooked onto, I’d say you’re better off doing almost ANYTHING ELSE considering the high cost and low amount of time spent actually high on it, but I guess that’s just me, the “stupid one”

                  Considering the fact that you think that rubbing coke in your gums doesn’t last for about an hour, I don’t think you’ve ever actually done coke, or at the very least done it in that manner. How the fuck do you think people discovered it in the first place? Chewing leaves, dumbass.

                  Thank god I’m sober so I don’t have to be around idiots like you

                  Jesus Christ dude, you really are a fucking asshole. If this is how you talk to random people on the internet out of nowhere, I’d be willing to bet your social circle is nonexistent. No need to be such a rude piece of fucking shit FFS.

                  I genuinely hope someone kicks you in the dick tomorrow or something, I don’t like wishing harm on people but I’d be willing to bet you were a better person on drugs than not, because you’re giving me the aire that you think you’re better than other people. Go do some soul searching bud, you’re literally arguing about smoking crack on the internet, fucking crackhead.

            Yeah, like a third shorter. If that is a concern, stick it in your gums because it’ll last like an hour then

                Edit: it looks like you edited your comment and wrote something totally different. If you’re so sure of yourself, why did you go in a completely different direction?

                Yes, if you rub coke on your gums, it will last for like one hour. You’re not going to be smoking levels of high for an hour unless you do a shit ton, but it won’t be for 5-10 minutes like it is when you smoke it either.

    It would be the same as it is now except crack/powdered cocaine would substitute sugar.

      Because crack and sugar are interchangeable, and sugar addiction/comedowns are definitely as bad as with cocaine
