why do people do crack and what not?

Question

I just dont get it cause it's just flat out disgusting to me.

Answer 1

Crack reminds me of how when someone is "horny" they suffer temporary insanity until their "itch" is gratified. These are natural highs. Some natural highs are legal and some are illegal according to man's law. Wouldn't it be better to stick with the "legal" highs? Why not "better safe than sorry", right?

But, there is a high beyond even the legal high. We can discover this high through dharma and yoga.

Cocaine affects your brain. The word "cocaine" refers to the drug in both a powder (cocaine) and crystal (crack) form. It is made from the coca plant and causes a short-lived high that is immediately followed by opposite, intense feelings of depression, edginess, and a craving for more of the drug. Cocaine may be snorted as a powder, converted to a liquid form for injection with a needle, or processed into a crystal form to be smoked.

Cocaine affects your body. People who use cocaine often don't eat or sleep regularly. They can experience increased heart rate, muscle spasms, and convulsions. If they snort cocaine, they can also permanently damage their nasal tissue.

Cocaine affects your emotions. Using cocaine can make you feel paranoid, angry, hostile, and anxious, even when you're not high.

Cocaine is addictive. Cocaine interferes with the way your brain processes chemicals that create feelings of pleasure, so you need more and more of the drug just to feel normal. People who become addicted to cocaine start to lose interest in other areas of their life, like school, friends, and sports.

Cocaine can kill you. Cocaine use can cause heart attacks, seizures, strokes, and respiratory failure. People who share needles can also contract hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, or other diseases.

Answer 2

Pretty much anything that feels good hurts you. You may think people who do crack are weird. What about people who smoke marijuana? Smoke cigarettes? Drink alcohol?

Ok, those are the vices. But is every decision you make the smartest for you? Do you eat the absolutely healthiest foods every single time you eat? Do you go to the doctor for checkups every other week? Do you stay home to make sure you don't get in a car accident?

We all take risks and do things that feel good. I have never done crack, but it sounds nearly impossible to quit.
