Have you ever smoked crack? What was it like?

I never really did a lot of drugs besides smoking pot a few times but I tried crack once at a party in college and I felt pretty ashamed of myself immediately after despite high. I didn’t try it again and am actually a sober adult now, not because I had a drug problem but I just grew out of wanting to try them and never liked to drink alcohol.

I never met anyone else who would ever admit to trying it though or even cocaine despite statistically knowing many people have haha. Any crack smokers on lemmy?

I’m not curious enough to try. The stigma and negative consequences just don’t seem worth it.

Crack is one of the drugs I would never try due to the so many bad outcomes. Meth, heroin, fentanyl, and other opiates are also on my NO list.

Is it any similar to cocaine? I did try that and … it’s ok. But I didn’t get that wow feeling that coke fans swear on.

Something like this.

I smoked crack in my teens. I think it’s an unfair stigma to judge crack worse than cocaine - even though I know you’re not proclaiming that or anything.

Like so many stupid things that don’t make sense, it originated in racism.

Basically, the Reagan administration realized that more black people used crack than powder cocaine and it was the other way around for white people, so they made the sentencing for crack harsher by a margin of 100:1 to make sure there were more black victims of the War On Drugs than white ones.

This, combined with the Reagan, Bush, and afair also Clinton administrations demonizing crack users as the ultimate example of “it’s their own fault for the moral failing of doing street drugs” bullshit, and the for profit yellow media happily following their lead, is why even people without a bigoted bone in their bodies still think that crack is a hundred times worse than the pharmacologically identical powder cocaine.

Let’s be real though, crack is significantly more addictive than regular cocaine. The high is higher, it lights up all the dopamine receptors in your brain. The high is much shorter, and the crash is much harder, which pushes users to use more to avoid intolerable withdrawal symptoms. Cocaine is “mellower” in pretty much every way. All the bad parts of cocaine use are only magnified in crack use. All this is completely independent of fucked up drug policy

Which is more bioavailable? That would be a more sensical basis to sort if judge them without speaking to the cutting agents

It’s like doing a really good whip-it, then immediately wanting to do another.

If you want to read more about experiences, Erowid had a great library of information, including write ups of people who have used different drugs before.

This is the link for crack/cocaine.
