My mom started doing crack in the 80s shortly after I was born. Who knows maybe even before. She never stopped. I lived in our crack house until 5 when police raided and took me and my brother away. She never got clean and we were adopted. She's still not clean 40 years later. In and out of prison. Im always amazed when I hear people stopped. Nothing stopped my mom not even the loss of her kids and eventual death of my brother. The lesson I learned is never try crack. You already know it feels great but it will ruin your life. Why risk it.

It’s very relatable for ex amphetamine users, especially ones that can manage themselves as well as he did. A self aware drive user can actually be very productive and can sometimes even be more productive than previously using said substance. Many many people take adderal today, many many people take essentially restructured crack legally and for people on state insurance it’s free. And when they start to get “adverse effects” they get benzos thrown at them, it’s a vicious cycle that you can find yourself in the streets and indeed in your very own doctors office.

His mouth was salivating as he talked about crack. He could taste it. I’ve seen that in people I know who have been addicted to crack. He couldn’t wait to get out of there. He knew he had succumbed to this feeling and sadly paid the ultimate price of death right after. He was never going to stop smoking because he had accepted defeat. Rest peacefully sir. You did matter. 43 years after your death and my heart still goes out to you.

But its all second hand knowledge for me. Crack on the other hand, i lived through that experience. Both devastated communities but crack did so on a much larger scale and in a shorter period of time. In one decade, 10 years, every black community in America was in ruins because of crack.

We cannot see that they were once regular people leading honest lives. This Interview tells their story and humanizes them.

I couldve made something of myself but now im lucky if i can get more than 20hrs of work a week in fast food, even now that im sober my addiction was all that i lived for, and without it (and the previous passion i had for life) i just feel so empty and lifeless. Its been a decade and i still struggle to enjoy the things i used to live for. But i dont ever want to use again which i all i want, ill never feel that euphoria again. Im just broken and complacent, and forever fearful and empty.

He focused on "the good feeling" and "chasing the dragon", But really what makes people addicted is not how "good it feels" but how "terrible it feels" to go without any. Same thing for H and Cigs and Mth. A person can't do the stuff and reap the "rewards" without it making them uncomfortable and unstable to stop... The "good feeling" May not really actually even be that great either... For example drinking is not really that great to do because It doesn't nessicarily "feel good" and can even "feel bad" at times, but it gives people a rush of good feelings from time to time. That's enough to make people keep doing it. It's when a person gets bad enough and does it too much they get used to it and stop being effected by the bad aspects of it. Another one is H isn't even that great. Sure, you feel extremely "euphoric", but it will shut you down and turn you into a prisoner in your own body at the same time, which is not actually fun. It's only really enjoyable if you plan on not doing anything else or the person has try to control themselves to not do too much, but you also don't feel it nearly as much trying to control it and doing small amounts... Not to mention the comedown is the worst and the reason why it is highly addictive. If you smoke a little bit, you'll get a tiny buzz that lasts like 20minutes and then start getting a headache instantly afterwards... 😂

Gil Noble was as serious, no nonsense, honest journalist that didn't mess around with soft ball questions as you could see in this interview. He was giving this man the business, and that man didn't even so much as blink or bat an eye about his condition.

It feels good, but it's not THAT good to waste all your money on. I have IVed cocaine (Sometimes in the neck), which is significantly more euphoric than smoking it, and I have never had an issue with it. (I have smoked/and cooked HQ crack as well, using NH3HCl solution, the good stuff). So there is definitely a social element that caused his addiction. (As he has mentioned) Didn't need to go rehab, or anything just stopped. Unless you abuse it daily/hourly you are not gonna have a physical addition to it, it's all mental. Sleep a few days, you will feel good, the fact people can't control their addiction after is a weakness. It's not heroin. (This dude is overpaying BTW, 150%, the values of money he is mentioning, can last you for way longer than he is claiming). Like physically you cannot smoke it that fast, so he is def 100% getting hustled by his dealer, overpaying). Usually crack dealers up-charge their product, because crackheads are too big fiends to cook it themselves, saving a bunch of money.

As a child of the 80s whose life was deeply impacted by the crack this is personal. Him sharing his real experiences with it gives me a lot of perspective and is one of the most selfless things I've seen someone advocate for. Makes me really proud of those, who like my mother, are living in sobriety. Makes me understand why so many, like my brother, ultimately succumbed to addiction.

I once hung out with a heroin addict in Amsterdam, he was a street musician, amazing guitar player and singer, my brother and I gave him our spare ticket to the Tash Sultana concert and he in return showed us around town as it was our first time there. This dude had studied chemistry and was able to explain in minute detail how heroin was created and processed, what effects it had on the brain/body and how it affects people's personality including his own, he spoke clear and eloquent german (his 3rd or 4th language) with us and was genuinely a very nice and intelligent person, he even told us about his future plans, he had his whole life already planned out "just need to get over this addiction then I can do it" is what he said. No matter how intelligent or self-aware you are, certain addictions don't give a damn about that. I wrote with him from time to time on facebook after we returned home but the last time he replied was years ago :/
