Did you know that crack and cocaine were the same in toxicology reports and it just said he died from fukkING FREEBASE? What's freebase? A pure form of cocaine made with ether...Guess what crack is? The same thing with fukking baking soda. He did not insufflate, he smoked it. You're getting a neg.

Myth #5: Crack use is much more dangerous than powder and kills its users more often.

Fact: The misuse of any drug (legal or illegal) may be detrimental to the health of an individual. However, it is erroneous to claim that the use of crack cocaine alone is a major cause of death. In fact, in 2000 the percentage of deaths attributed to ALL illegal drugs was .7%. In comparison, 435,000 deaths (18.1%) were caused by tobacco in the same year.

So crack is like AIDS; It leaves you vulnerable to a more deadlier threat..

Yeah that shyt is crazy! Crack is like a chemical weapon of war forreal.

It also does long term damage to your lungs and respiratory system. Long term killer like cigs...

i think smokeable drugs are harder to OD on. You're smoking so you're forced to pace yourself.

When you use needles you can just load up some huge dose and OD.

Either way drugs will kill you in other ways. And it probably degrades your body overtime cuz a healthy smoker is a rare sight.

Also, crack and freebase are two very different things but I'll let you cook.

Seriously? Yes people die from acute cocaine intoxication all the time. Smoking is the quickest way behind shooting to get it in the system meaning its easier to die than using it by snorting. Also the long term health effects are horrible also. Most people die while drinking and doing coke. It becomes another drug after the tow combine in the system, cocaethylene which is more toxic than normal cocaine which is why people die more from the combination than it alone.

I always played it off when people brought up how crack was used as a weapon against African Americans, but seeing studies like this:

"From 1970 to 1985, the percentage of black males who earned a high school degree increased by an average of 0.4 percentage points per year. At this pace, their high school attainment rate would have roughly matched that of their white male counterparts by 1996. And the achievement gap between white and black students have yet to show major improvement. A report out of Chicago last year revealed that**tthe rift between the two has widened over the last 20 years of school reform in the city as test scores failed to show signs of an upward trend.

According to the authors, their results show that the introduction of crack cocaine reversed this progress, and that responses to changing murder and prison intake rates reduced the percentage of black males with a high school degree by 3.5 percentage points. Over the period of greatest graduation rate decline — 1986 to 1996 — there was a 4.8 percentage point decrease in the percentage of black males with a degree. The study estimates that crack markets account for between 40 and 73 percent of the drop in black male high school graduation rates."

Nope.... Well, I've never known anyone to O.D. or have long lasting health complications from smoking crack alone... I've known 100s of smokers......

You probably die from secondary causes. Even if someone survives to 60, they are all fukked up internally and have multiple issues. They usually of die related diseases...

I just explained that in the post. Freebase is "Pasta/paste"...Crack is rock...Freebase is made with Ether or Alcohol...and Crack is a cheap form made with baking soda...
My pops taught me how to cook both in a hotel room...in 2001. I used to sell crack, breh...Fiends die from smoking. Sometimes they smoke too many rocks in a row and have a heart attack. Sometimes the adulterants blow them up.

I bet you bammas feel real dumb...My roommate was his cousin and my family is from "the urrea"...He was basing. Y'all are not from the crack era so you weren't there to know.

Co sign. Everybody in MD kno it was freebase. Plus he was hanging out with low level drug dealers.

No black nick and dime hustlers had powder in 86

I don't know if OP is trolling or seriously this ignorant, but this kind of silly questioning is potentially harmful because it seeks to portray crack cocaine as less dangerous than it is.

RIP to all the casualties of the crack epidemic.
