Crack is still very common in certain areas/circles, as it's cheap and easily accessible... just go through the Civic Center or Hunter's Point neighborhoods of San Francisco, and you'll see plenty of it being smoked. It's just not really mainstream anymore, since most people quickly realized crack is whack. Too bad Whitney didn't get the memo, huh?
Every decade in recent history seems to have its favorite drugs -
1960s: LSD, weed
1970s: Cocaine, weed
1980s: TONS of cocaine, crack
1990s: Heroin, crack
2000s: Meth, weed
2010s: Weed, prescription pills, household items
Or something like that! I guess it's just the natural order of things, as each generation discovers and experiments with different substances... but have you noticed how only weed never seems to go out of style?
Bingo. Folks just got tired of the crack game, and the dealers became much too wary to keep dealing it seeing as how the sentencing guidelines got to be too heavy for a small amount.
Weed smoking is hella popular now, and crack played out. There are still a lot of crackheads around, but nothing like it was 20 years ago.
Meth is too much work, and requires a LOT of stuff that can be purchase tracked if you buy too much of it all the time.
And cooking it isn't really conducive to urban environments. You've gotta make that stuff in almost Moonshiner conditions. That doesn't explain why rural blacks don't use it, but i suppose they simply see it as something that you just don't do.
Black folks can be weird like that. We'll often shun certain things for reasons that i can never get a clear answer about.
Unfortunately crack is still thriving, regardless of what mainstream media focuses on. I personally know many people who continue to be addicted to crack. And the myth that they all die young is untrue. Many of the folks I know have been abusing cocaine for 30 years or longer and are still doing the same old thing, living for their next hit. Extremely sad.

Honestly I don't think the popularity of weed ever went away! Though I will admit there seems to be a bigger push for legalization, which is fine by me.

LOL...yea, i do know some old ass crackheads. But the crack game isn't what i'd deem as "thriving" anymore in comparison with its heyday. But yea, there are still customers if you wanna sell it. But it'll never be what it was again. Too many folks...both users and sellers are just too cracked out.
But it really seems like everrrrryyyyybody I know has gotten or gets scripts of oxy's, percs or vics with no hassle whatsoever. Pill mills have put "the corner" out of commission, relatively.
You and the person who said everyone smokes weed these days are right.
Coke,(not crack,they are different) is mixed in with the weed.
Same with heroin.
I've heard of them mixing some crazy bad stuff in with marijuana.

Yeah, I've heard some crazy stuff about people buying a house and not being told it's a meth house and getting sick from the chemicals absorbed into the carpets, walls etc.
