How do cocaine and crack differ, other than the people who use it? The big frenzy behind crack started because poor people used it not strung out businessmen. Both are quite dangerous, addictive and should be banned. Considering the two as different drugs is just as hypocritical as alcohol/pot laws.Changleen said:
Crack is the freebasing form of Cocaine. Considerably more addictive and quite a lot stonger. Hundreds of thousands of professional people use cocaine every day and lead normal productive lives. It is abused, like alcohol by the few. Crack is almost instantly physically addictive. It's a much nastier drug.Westy said:
i agree because marijuana can serve as a great buissness tool, look at the Netherlands they have marijuana and XXX and they have less crime than any nation in the world. it just goes for show that drugs and sex are more useful than everybody thinksfluff said:
It is the same drug with a different delivery system. Kind of like beer vs liquor. Anyone using it on a daily basis for an extended period of time and thinking they have a normal productive life is fooling themselves, or they get really ****ty coke. Crack is for poor people and because of that there has been a lot of fear mongering generated by the media while cocaine is more mainstream and has a strong voice for justification, but it is the same crap.Changleen said:
I have heard that, but there is also the debate how crack is a lower-class drug, whereas coke is upper; which results in a different penalty scheme. Comments about racial discrimination has started people looking at both forms of cocaine with equal regard.Changleen said:
Kind of, except you don't drink 330ml of liquor in one go, if you see what I mean.Westy said:
I dunno about that. In London a lot of people do a lot of coke a lot of the time. I'm sure it'd be just the same in NY, DC, LA, etc...
It's the same base drug but freebasing it changes what it does to you, and how, considerably.
Does it matter? Most people who use alcohol aren't addicts. There's no reason to assume that alcohol is the only drug that can be used in moderation.stevew said:

And, certain governments would no longer have an excuse to spend a bunch of cash with certain contractors on procurements for enforcement, building prisons, keeping lawyers busy etc etc etc.... Hmmmm....Ciaran said:If it's legalized then all the drug dealers would be out of business because everyone would be growing their own. Hmmm...maybe it's the Humboldt cartels that are keeping it illegal. Hmmmmm....
Heh, no kidding.LordOpie said:
No N8, I'm not a pot smoker. In fact, I've never tried it, and I don't plan on it, even if it is legalized.N8 said:
Not if they still kept it illegal to grow... They could sell packs of joints or 1/8ths at the store. Then the government could still regulate it, and tax it, and they would make money. With which they could fund war with, or whatever they want. I mean the drug dealers would still have to get a real job like everyone else.Ciaran said:If it's legalized then all the drug dealers would be out of business because everyone would be growing their own.

Would that be so wrong???Westy said:
No, just SOP for you.N8 said:Would that be so wrong???
