Interesting report from the San Jose Mercury a decade or so ago about the government pushing crack in LA.

Where did he mention race at all?
Ohhhh..that's right...it was the hippie that mentioned race.

But nice try at making it racist.

You have to be a troll who is actually liberal and just posts this stuff for fun. I mean really. You have to be.

Lets not forget about all those good ol' hearty Conservative Jesus loving Meth addicts in Rural America.

I mean really, though. You can't really have these crazy views. Even the most illogical, wacked out conservative guy is not to the extent that you are.

He admitted to Cocaine in his teens. So did George W., about more than half of other politiciains, sports stars, lawyers, etc.

Crack is different than cocaine. Crack is smoked, much cheaper, more addicting, and has worse effects on people.

Um, no. Cocaine is cocaine...and if anything "crack" is cut down so far that there's not as much cocaine in a piece of crack as there is in a "line" of coke. But coke is more expensive, and so they have better lawyers...rich people make the rules, and can break them pretty much at will.

Crack is "cut" down more, but it is mixed with baking soda, so it is smokable. Smoking crack is far more powerful for a shorter period, and more addicting. Both are awful drugs.

You are right about cocaine. There are laws that make crack more punishable if you are caught with it. Many poor black people are complaining that this is a law against them. Then when a rich suburban white boy is caught with coke, he is not punished as badly.

But, I don't know why you said, "Uh, no". I know what I am talking about, as I had an elective psychology courses on this in college, and grew up with drugy friends. Don't try to pretend to school me on something that I know a lot about.

Crack is wack (as Whitney Houston would say).

I wonder if Electrical Banana materialized vulgar as the buzzing *****?

I always thought it was going to be a more Aquarian kind of high.

Oh well, it wasn't his fault.

The reason they're complaining is that the quantity issue. You could have nearly pure cocaine and serve less jail time for possession than you would for crack, which has been cut down so far it isn't funny. As a matter of fact, you can get busted for just TRYING to buy crack, it doesn't have to be "real" when the cops set up their stings.

Thankfully, I was never busted, and gave it up long ago...I was always having someone else buy it and bring it--and I got myself away from those people. I didn't personally have the contacts, it was always through some middleman. Like the girlfriend I broke up with because the crack was more important than me.
