But I think Krokodil is the new worst drug on the planet - heroin addicts have found a way to get cheaper smack and cut it with petrol, amongst other things. It turns your skin green and makes your flesh rot away! Nasty shit.

Kind of wish I hadn't googled that

well u have 2 be sure to inject the eye drops 1st

yeah but he's right?

not really, he's comparing two things in a kind of esoteric way which doesn't really make sense.
The difference between the free base and the salt form is completely different to the difference between two chemically different compounds such as water and hydrogen peroxide.

The salt form is sniffed (obviously) and has to pass through membranes in the cell walls in order to get "into" the body and into the bloodstream, and the process is also limited by how fast the salt dissociates (HCl) from the active compound. The freebase however doesn't have to go through a dissociative process whereby the salt (HCl) is removed from the base and also goes straight into the bloodstream through the much more permeable membranes of the lungs. Therefore that shit goes to you much faster in much higher dose, so hits a fuck ton harder.

The difference between the salt form and the freebase is actually a bit more close to the difference between water and ice (not really but in this context it is). It's certainly a lot more similar than the difference between H20 and H202.

do you smoke crack?

[hugh]

nah cos im not a fucked up skank

yeah i'm gonna +1 to hugh and mason, elite is way wrong. sure, sometimes a minor change to a compound can result in vastly different effects. like for example, a migraine medication (sumatriptan) i take is literally a dmt molecule with an added sulfur dioxide and nitrogen. relatively minor change, but obviously it functions nothing like dmt

but in this case, absolutely not lol. changing a substance from a freebase to a salt does not change the way it works in the body in any other way than allowing different routes of administration. a freebase has a lower boiling point which allows you to smoke it better, while a salt is much more soluble in water, which allows you to snort it and stick it inside your lips, etc. the salt form is also much more stable

Aren't crack and cocaine essentially the same thing though? Cocaine just being a lot classier?

Crack is more powerful, more addictive and more harmful to you.

Around here, crack became popular during the 90s when the government started to take down chemestry companies that were refining cocaine. Crack is a left over cream/paste of cocaine's refiniment process, refined again using gasoline or querosene. You can either smoke it or inject it and it's addictive since the first hit, plus the addiction is for life. You can die from abstinence and the life spam of a regular crack user is no longer than a decade, at best. (that if he doesn't get murdered by other addicts or arrested, in this case he may die in prison). Once addicted, you become a slave to the drug, you won't do anything other than trying to find more rocks, you won't eat, shower or talk. It's one hell of a drug that I have to live with every day since someone started dealing crack around the neighbourhood. Those addicts behave like cockroaches, they will tackle you down, break into your house and steal anything at hand. We've tried beating them and gun point threats since the police can't arrest them and it's always the same thing, when you get rid of a group, another one take their places.

It literally feels like one of those movies where zombies can run and climb up stuff.

Crack isnt left overs, its coke mixed with water and baking soda and probably a few other things

Around here it only contains traces of cocaine, the crack smoked in the us is different, more like unrefined coke, hence why some people think meth is worse.

^feel for you brother
it's bad enough running into the occasional demented crackhead/icefreak here
without having to live amongst them running amok like you do.
