I don't know why people get into meth and crack in the first place. They've heard all the stories and likely know people messed up badly from it already. "Hmmm, this is the drug for me!"

People hunting extreme pain relief or getting "just a little higher" once you've out toleranced the easy stuff
I wonder if they somehow think they will be able to manage it.
Everyone always does
Yeah. I've smoked tons of crack. I was on heroin for years before I tried it the first time. Within a month of smoking crack regularly my life was down the fucking tubes. It's bad shit. Like really really bad shit. I would strongly recommend anyone reading this NEVER EVER try it.
Only thing I've done that fucked my life worse than crack was meth, and only by margins that could easily be a rounding error.....
Oh yeah. I could imagine. AFAIK, I only did meth once and it went poorly. Myself and a friend did a ton of MDMA the night before, the next day my buddy's dealer texts him about having blue molly (there's no such thing as blue molly). So we're like 
, and we laid the whole gram out and started sniffing it up. We thought because we did so much the night before we would have huge tolerances. We did not, because it wasn't MDMA. So we each did like half a gram of really shitty meth and blue food coloring. I was absolutely sure I was going to die for like an entire 24 hours.
Yeah, it's a motherfucker like that. Least it didn't turn into a habit. That's basically what happened to me, but then I wasn't able to kick it for 2 years. Went From 280lbs to 160 in like 7 months. The thing that pulled me out was getting busted for committing a crime. And by that point I wanted out, but had no idea how to.
So glad to hear your off it and hopefully doing better! 
Clean for basically spitting distance of 20 years. Happily living my best life.
Thanks comrade, hope you're doing as well as you can.
HELLS YEAH! Thank you too. I've been off of like drugs drugs for about two years now. At this point I only do drugs lite ^tm^
As long as you're good in and of yourself, that's the important bit.
What's the difference between pot and crack
One is one thing and the other is another thing.
Oh thanks that clears everything.
I think pot is weed crack is a salt
Yeah smoked it a couple of times. Wasn't as good as expected. We were all quite in to party drugs, ie ecstasy, speed, coke, acid etc. The buzz on crack wasn't a patch on a good trip!
nope. Especially now after having lived for a few years in a booming rehab community, seeing secondhand where addiction gets people.
I did coke a few times, it was okay. The high doesn't last long enough to justify the cost, and I was already jonesing for more the last time
Nope.
Iβm not curious enough to try. The stigma and negative consequences just donβt seem worth it.
Same deal here. I went to a college party with an acquaintance and he did a line for the first time while we were there. He made SUCH a fool of himself the whole night. I've been deterred ever since. I never want to lose complete control like that ever.
I have an addictive personality with little impulse control (e.g. caffeine, sugar, TV, games).
I don't do things in moderation. I know that smoking would kill me if I started, and as a dopamine chaser, I know that any drug that immediately makes me feel good will be a crutch that I will use for the rest of my life.
No thank you sir.
I have tremendous respect for people who are aware of their own weaknesses, able to admit them, and maintain boundaries for themselves. Congratulations!
maintain boundaries
This is admittedly the hard part, but thanks!
This is why the one time I was around meth I asked the other party (someone I was sleeping with casually) to not let me have any if I asked to try it. I'd be on the street for sure. I didn't ask, so I don't know if she'd have kept her end. Either way, I'm glad I didn't get tempted.
However, I'll do a mountain of coke so long as I don't have a phone number to ask for more.
