Is crack cocaine worse than cocaine?

[sair5412]

My friend has just told me her boyfriend is getting some "base" this weekend. Looking on the web it says this is crack cocaine. When i hear "crack" I always seem to think this is really bad (i know all drugs are of course!). What is it and why does it leap out to me that it is so bad? I'm thinking like on the level with herion?

[ummmm]

base is speed

and yes, crack is way worse than cocaine

[ummmm]

Sorry, and is on a level with herion

My friend saw some of this base and said it was in a bag and was almost like a creamy white putty when you squeezed the bag. What do they do with it? So it's not crack cocaine? They all seem to be excited that they are getting some like it's a one off expensive thing. My friend is worried and so am I!

very moreish apparently...

sorry to be serious crack can be "instantly" addictive, the worst of all drugs, it is cocaine added to boiling water, the pure cocaine then forms crystals, whilst the additives, are removed in the water

base and speed u eat just makes u feel like your full of energy

[havinmysay]

crack can make u feel good for a few minutes then when your ''coming down'' u feel like crap so u have more to feel good again

Legally both are the same, Class A narcotics as defined by The Misuse of Drugs Act.

Also both are the same insofar as they are both taken by lowlife scum bags who are incapable of having a good time with decent company and a few beers.

Further, both are the same insofar as they are for lifes losers with little regard for the welfare of the nation. Crack (and to a lesser degree) coke addicts beg, borrow, ***** themselves and steal to feed their vile habit. Your grandma could get mugged so one of these foul users can have their fix.

Also both are the same insofar as they are addictive, with crack (being the purer form) more addictive.

Both will cause irrepairable damage to the body and both are taken by "needy" people.

Tell your friend to dump the waster. No self respecting person will be seen dead with a druggie. They are foul and basically are a drain on the health service, the police and the economy on the whole.

They do not deserve to die, but when they often do, I rarely feel sympathy.

Thanks for your answers. I wholeheartly agree Wardy! I've tried telling her!

Anyway, what is "base" made up of? I'm finding it hard to get the same answers from the web.

wikipedia is usually spot on.

[ummmm]

I agree Wardy

I don't know what it is made up of but I do know that it is found in diet pills. Although to a much lesser degree. Gives you loads of energy to last the whole night. Where as us **** heads go home at 2am the ones on speed will still be dancing at 4am and wanting more.

[ummmm]

No it didn't allow Wardy

Did you ever see the anti drugs campain where they used the mug shots of a crack/heroin addict over a period of about 7 years?

She was a pretty thing on her 1st arrest and in 7 years, with an arrest rate of about two a year, she aged about 30 years

Crack/heroin should never be used to delay the signs of ageing!!!!!

[##Wardy##]

indeed I did see it. It reminds me of the recent photos of the Suffolk victims. They were all pretty. I can assure you that just before their fate, they would have looked haggered and drugs ridden.

sorry wardy i think they should, its freely available, in most places

[ummmm]

I think that is to cut out the middle man though. To stop it being pushed!

I do think cannabis should be legal as it aids certain ailments but it should be on prescription

[havinmysay]

i thought cannabis was legalised but only to those prescribed

[ummmm]

No, it was lowered to a class C

[ummmm]
