Crack is a heavy stimulant, so it's going to raise the metabolism. Plus, I suspect most addicts are undernourished. Definitely not a "healthy skinny".

I think the drug makes your body run incredibly fast, your metabolism goes through the roof, not to mention if you have a crack habit food becomes kinda a secondary expence. If you're thinking about the Capone weightloss program I would strongly recommend against it, but hey you're life.
and they are really skinny.

Crack is basically speed, which has been used a long time for weight loss. Most prescription weight loss/appetite suppressants contain some sort of speed.
So, consider the fact that they are addicted to this drug, and therefore never feel truly hungry.
and while fat speedfreaks are rare, they do exist!

its because while high they dont eat..ive known someone that would force herself to eat while high so she didnt get that super skinny crack head look to her..but generally a person on those types of drugs doesn't feel there hunger but depending on the person i know a girl who decided to start using crack so she would loose weight and she gained like 50 pounds cause it made her very very hungry

They're so skinny because the drug suppress' their appetite and they forget to eat.

It supresses the appetite. Also it makes them very hyper so they're burning more calories than usual, while consuming less than usual.

Because they use all their money to buy crack and they have no money to buy food.
