I am a recovering addict who survived the crack epidemic. I haven't had any experience worse than active addiction. It impacts every area of life.
GOD helps us all.

The US government/CIA is solely responsible for this. I still wonder why us Americans haven’t taken back the power that’s rightfully and originally ours. The government doesn’t give us our rights, they are only there to protect them and us from enemies foreign and domestic.

It is disingenuous to blame all of the 80s woes on crack alone. If you were aware of what is happening on the street, the "crack epidemic" never ended.

U know why they call them crack 'rocks'?

Because crack f*cking rocks!

All jokes aside, I asked my uncle one time what the crack epidemic of the 80s was like because I was born in 88 and too young to remember. Ill never forget what he said:

It was unimaginable how fast it spread... like wildfires. There had never been anything like it before, and there will never be anything like it again

I am 65 yo healthy male. I came from a poor background with few opportunities and intense discrimination toward me. Despite that I never smoked cigarettes, did any drugs, or tuned ro alcohol. I overcame these obstacles and have had a successful career. If I can do it, then pretty much anyone else can do it too. Although tempting to do, maki ng excuses and blaming others will never solve any problem

there was no worse of a crack cocaine epidemic than any OTHER cocaine epidemic. crac was just the choice of the poor and non white. as a result penalties for "one use" amount of crack were five times harsher than a similar dose of white powder.

meanwhile there was no treatment facility, no help to quit (still isnt) no housing, no food, and etc... so...

Thank you for highlighting the issue of the discrepancy of the poor and the consequences of drug related issues....crack is NOT more potent than cocaine. It's just smokable. That is it. That's all. 100:1 is insane. I mean dont do coke or crack. Seriously I'll tell you from experience neither is worth it. But damn man - well done

The difference in punishment between the two belays the difference in harm to society ... I have known hundreds of people all across the world habitually taking one with absolutely no effects to society and barely anyone the wiser while the other caused irreparable harm to society that is visually obvious to anyone that comes close to it.
The problem is NOT the substance itself but the people using and distributing it.

As someone that sold both in a previous life.... Cocaine and crack are not the same drug. The addiction level is completely different. There are no casual crack users. And ultimately a crack addiction is way more expensive than a cocaine addiction, because you need it every fifteen minutes.... And an addict will usually stay up for multiple days, doing it in a row.

I grew up outside the U.S. Capitol. We had crack come in while there was a resurgence of PCP (phenycicledine) simultaneously. Crack took off, took friends, family and PCP faded away. Man, the good old days! Love boat, love boat!

I was there. The disparity in penalties for crack was demanded by black leaders, as crack was having a disproportionately devastating effect on the black community.

No jobs, sub par education, decline of the family unit, lack of interests by government in the inner city's plight, housing shortage and the increased consolidation of the population into housing projects, harsh policing and courts that only punished, not helped, boredom and despair with the chances of getting out of it all slim. All this leads to "...fuck it, its a Tuesday with nothing to do and nowhere to be, might as well sell mom's vcr and buy a few rocks..." 😫
