The rapid onset addiction and low cost per hit got people hooked immediately and turned an occasional customer into a dedicated customer.
lol people still believing the “crack gets you addicted after the first hit” nonsense in 2022. somehow, people always ascribe these magical properties to crack when it’s really just an even dumber form of cocaine use, where you take a drug that already has lots of habit-forming potential, an extremely short duration, a pronounced crash and a strong tendency to make people redose all the time and make all of that even worse by making it available in a form that hits you faster than snorting.
not saying that crack isn’t awful, it definitely is, but all the downsides it has are downsides that you’ll also see with coke in powder form, just slightly less bad because with powder coke you’ll want more every 30 minutes instead of every 10 minutes. that’s really all there is to it.
