One time I stayed in a homeless shelter and some dude told me to smoke crack. Can you tell me the positives?

Question

Yeah, I want to know. Such things as: the intensity of the high; looking cool at parties; hanging out with hookers. If you need to argue against it, could you at least provide some alternatives? The whole culture seems pretty exciting to me; the hipsters, the lingo, the parties. The getting high, the bonding over pipes, the adventure of it. I think it might be something really special to try out. Anybody had any luck with it? What were your best experiences? What got you started? Can you give me some insight into that business? What is in store for me once I get started? I am dead serious. I find it so cool and exciting. I am just tired of being bored doing nothing and I want a change of pace. Is it ever sexy for you? Just give me the pros (and the cons if you really need to vent your feelings if you hate it). Blah, it is the worst drug, it will ruin your life. No, give me the upside. Tell me how great it is. I want some solid accounts of crack use in your life.

Answer 1

Okay, someone who doesn't have anywhere to sleep or anything to eat or where to shower or money to even buy a cup of coffee is telling you to smoke crack? And you're actually considering this? Are you crazy?

If you want to panhandle for a hit, that's your business. But there are hundreths of thounsadths of people in the world who can have a good time, have a good career, a nice family and a great life without any of that garbage. The upside to not using crack? Not ending up like the person who gave you that crappy advise in the first place.

Answer 2

So look cool, hookers, lingo, hipsters...uh can't you do that without drugs? Besides most people would agree that it doesn't make you look cool it makes you look like a moron. Hookers? Well sure if you like a used up v*g*n*, while your at it maybe you can get some STDs, cause all the "cool" people have them. Lingo is just lingo you can use it if you want to. But you want the pros OK here are the pros. You'll get so hooked on it you wont want to work, so no working for you, that's cool right? Since you won't be making money you wont have a home, well everyone wants to live under the stars right? You'll probably OD every now and then and maybe even pick up and STD, well the hospital has it's benefits I'm sure.
The alternitive? You get a job, you get a home, you get a nice pretty girlfriend, and you don't waste your life hurting the people around you.

Answer 3

While I'm not sure whether this is a joke or not, I am going to attempt an answer.
The high is very intense at first but it quickly wears off leaving you jonesing for more. Not a great feeling.
It's really hard to look cool at parties with burns on your lips from the pipe that look like herpes.
We all know hookers are fun but hookers on crack carry STD's. So I'd advise against that.
Now, as for the adventure of it, it sounds like you're not really in it for the high but, instead, something to do. Crack is everywhere, so i recomend trying drug that really hard to get. So that when you score you feel you've really acolmplished something. I can't tell you which drug you should try because that depends on your area. But always remember if the guy you buy it from is missing teeth, it might not be the drug for you.

Answer 4

I haven't had any experience with it myself. BUT I have had many friends and a few family members that have. And I can tell you there are NO upsides to it. It may seem so at the time, and from what I have heard, it is a great high. But then you get stuck. You start to want more and more and more. Then you will want a better high. You will search out more stuff to fullfill that high and get into worse things (not sure what is worse then crack but I am sure it is out there). Where will it end? I hate to break it to you, but I am sure the outcome will not be what you expected.

I am sure you will get someone who is currently on crack to tell you the upsides of it. But I am sure they won't tell you what it's like to be not into it and they have probably not hit the rock bottom part, yet.

I have an Aunt that is into all of that and trust me, she use to be a great person and we use to talk all the time. She use to talk to her family all the time. Now? We never hear from her until she needs something (like money or a favor).

Not what you wanted to hear but I hope you listen anyways =)

God Bless.

Answer 5

It seems that you have already made the decision to try drugs, there’s no reason for you to ask what sort of highs you will be expecting. Your question is rather redundant and needs no answer as you will eventually find out for yourself.

I'm not promoting drugs—in fact I’m completely against all forms of illegal substances. However, your ignorance is so daunting I can’t imagine what gave you the impression that the drug gateway, allows for a more fulfilling life.

In all honestly (and most will agree), there are no benefits.

Answer 6

I've tried it, I did coke by snorting for several years. I was lucky when it was gone, no problem. I know most of the others ended up with no money, no teeth (a biggie) no one to trust them and on a fast slippery slope to hell!!!. You will end up in prison, dead, or maybe just on the streets. It gets cold in the winter and you will be beaten, robbed if you have even shoes. There are a lot more fun things to do! Stay home and smoke a joint!

Answer 7

I know of someone who wondered the same things you are curious about, regarding crack, who went ahead and used it. Upon the first use, he was addicted. He got in trouble with the law after he attempted robbing a restaurant to get the cash he needed for his next fix. As the years went on, he lost most of his teeth, lost all the muscles in his body, and finally he was diagnosed with brain cancer. He is now on permanent disability until he dies. He lost his ability to drive a car, to earn a living, to raise a family and to live a long life.

Crack is highly addictive and very dangerous. Please do not wonder about it or try it. Crack is so addictive that you will do most anything to continue using it, until you are dead.

Answer 8

okay crack is ****. no fun at all. personally i think that drugs such as amphetimines are much safer, cheaper, and more fun. also dont just do one drug. if you mix it up a bit and do a different drug you dont get the tollereance and have to take more, plus its an interesting thing to do. oh yeah im not talking do drugs all the time here. i mean occastionally. very occastionally. its to expensive lol. but yeah i would advise staying away from crack but its all up to you.. just dont become a junkie.. junkies make drugs look bad

Answer 9

Pros: No dieting, lots of highness (although why don't you just smoke pot?), and severe delusions (if youre into that). Cheap.

Cons: Habitual, makes you spaced out, health deterioration.


Hmm, I have done coke but not crack... And I like pot more than any of it--other stuff can run you til you wreck. Although there are some potheads that run til they wreck too...

I think my brother smoked crack, but he's sort of overdramatic.

Answer 10

hun, there are no positives, it destroys families and lives, if you need a change of pace that bad then get a hobby, make some new friends who are living a positive lifestyle and who can teach you ways to make something of yourself and your life and who actually cares about their future.....
