I’m doing a project for Health class about cocaine, and I was wondering if anyone had any interesting anecdotes about using. Also, if anyone knows how cheap you can get crack in Minnesota that would be great. I myself have never used crack or coke, so I need some help on this from a real person rather than a reference book.
Your faith in the teeming millions is inspiring but your pickings may be slim re this topic for current users. In most cases if people are really addicted and highly knowledgeable about the best crack deals in the city I would imagine the computer has been hocked by now.
I think a call to a local substance abuse clinic re ex-users willing to talk to you would possibly yield more concrete results.
Well, I used to be an addict and I live in Mn. So, in theory, I could help you. Price per gram depends on how much you’re getting. Also, as with any drug, it really depends on who you go through. Take weed, for example. I can get an eighth of an ounce for as little as nothing as much as $30. Then there’s issues of quality, which will alter the going rate. In short, there are way too many factors that could possibly change the price to give you any solid, factual answer.
Cribbage can be really, really fun when you’re geeked out with the right people.
Playing THPS2 on Playstation for more than three days straight is probably not healthy.
I clean like a motherfucker when I use by myself.
Crashing after a binge is actually a lot of fun.
If you use constantly for an extended period of time, you are no longer able to recognize your own face.
I’m addicted to Coke, all right – can’t go through a day without at least one 12-ounce can of the stuff…
True, but have you tried playing spades? I swear by it.
Also, I once accidentally put my left hand through a plate glass window after snorting the best blow I’ve ever encountered. I got 23 stitches and a very long lecture from the ER doctor.

I have NEVER been so glad to be a Pespi drinker!!

Never cared for powder cocaine. Never did anything for me.
But ******, in the music industry did a year end audit and realized, “$15,000 for cocaine.” Time to quite!
The great selling point about crack is the price per high.
While nickle ($5) bags are rare they are obtainable.
Dime ($10) bags are the norm, everywhere.
Quanity is available.
Heroin is a great substitute for food and sex.
Crack is a better substitute for sex and forget the food.
My life’s ambition is that hit of crack
whereupon I achieve orgasim.
Have you tried http://www.crack.com ?
Quoting Dennis Miller to the best of my recollection, “I’ll forego any drug that sucks money form my wallet and makes my **** smaller.”
I’ve tried both, but have never really cared for stimulants (I rarely get that ‘rush’, and develop tolerances quickly).
I’ll give one anecdote. One time I was hanging out with some friends of mine who had become crackheads. We were trying to get a $20 sack of weed, but everybody we knew was out. My friend convinced me to go in on some crack instead, I was bored so why not? I put in $20, my two friends scraped up $10. I intended to split the stuff up evenly between us, but I didn’t get the chance, my friend who went and got it refused to let me see it or hold it after he picked it up, though he agreed to let me hold it until we got back to his place and split it up. I got pissed off at him and we were arguing most of the way back because he was being an ass and it was obvious he was up to some bullshit. We got back and he showed two rocks, one an average $10 rock and the other significantly smaller. He wouldn’t give it up, wanted to divide it up himself between the three of us. I told him I put up most of the money (probably all of it, looked like he pocketed the 10 and chipped some off of one of the rocks for later) and I would see that everybody would get their share, he told me to just wait. I got pissed off and said I was going to leave and to give me my shit. He gave me the smaller rock and called me a fiend, I stepped out on the porch, crumbled up the rock, and threw it out into his front yard, then left with a ‘Fuck you’. I didn’t even want the crack at that point, I was pissed off on principle. I knew that after they smoked up the rock they had they would be out in that front yard on their hands and knees looking for it, and drove by an hour later and I was right.
I’ve got a lot of anecdotes, but they all boil down to the message ‘Never trust an addict’. Once people start craving it, they will obsess over it and think of little else. The guy in the story above is otherwise a pretty nice guy, and though not the most trustworthy person in the world he would never try to blatantly rip someone off like that to their face until he got on crack.
I’ve lost a few friends to crack (they’re still alive, sort of, but no longer my friends), still more to heroin. I have one story which seems to be unusual, if not unique.
A rock-star friend of mine in the summer of '85 was in a band that made most of its money by trafficking high-grade cocaine along their tour route. He was no stranger to coke and free-basing, although he had not completely fallen to the lure of the drug (nor was he profiting from the sales).
One day when they were setting up for a show in southern Florida someone came along with something he called “rock”. My buddy took one hit through their base-pipe and thought he was going to die. “It felt like every nerve in my body was being rubbed raw with 20-grit sandpaper,” he told me. That day, he quit the band, packed up his shit, and caught a bus back home. He finished high school, weaseled his way into the prestigious St. John’s College in Annapolis and saw it through to graduation and a nice, quiet life.
He very likely saved a lot of my friends by spreading the bad word about three months before the crap roared into the DC area like a typhoon.
Thanks, bro, for spreading the word. Down with white powder!
Washington City Paper: The Crack Edition
What kind of information do you need other than prices in Minnesota? I’m not an addict but have been intimately involved with two coke/crack addicts, and even more drunks. I can tell you one thing. Every one of them claims that the smoke from it has no smell. That’s pure crap, I can smell the residue within 6 feet. It smells like a burnt Wallmart bag, or burning plastic. Anything else, ask and I might know if I don’t I’ll ask someone who does.

Cocaine makes good people do bad things.
Sorry about the hijack, but:
What is free-base? Is that a sort of destructive distillation of cocaine to remove impurities?
[/hijack]
I have no new info for your question.
Yes it is good buy the weighh who has four more because my friend needs a ride so call me please
thanks because if she has hands then glow we
no what is gray?
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help. Actually, it turns out that the guys I did the project with knew someone who deals crack, so we got a lot of our information from him. Oh, and we got 100% on the project (anything less would have been cruel, considering I put it 27.5 hours).
