So stay away from it.

Haha... there really isn't one. Smoked some, didn't get addicted. ;) lol

EDIT: It was actually on a couple different occasions. But yeah, didn't get addicted. I admit I've been addicted to a couple other things at times, but never crack or coke. Just ain't my drug of choice.

All of the above is purely hypothetical, of course.

No, you won't. Not the first time. But, odds are, you'd be doing it with someone who is, and if they have gotten you this far already, they'll probably do it again. And again. And again. And again. Then they'll suddenly stop one day and you will be extremely confused, broke, alone and left wanting more.

No, that is not true. It all depends on the person. Some people are prone to addiction, others are not.

Some people can smoke cigarettes and not get addicted, others cannot.

Some people can take heroin and not get addicted, others cannot.

Some people can drink alcohol and not get addicted, others cannot.

It depends. You WILL want more, you can take my word for it. The reason for addiction is availability. If you can get your hands on crack without too much hassle, you are a very likely candidate for addiction. If you however, let's say, get offered some crack on a party, and are highly unlikely to be able to get your hands in some crack in the near future, I'd say you could have some fun that night, if you're that kind of person.

Lol. There was some cheap candy commercial back in the 90s with that line. Came on with the Saturday morning cartoons. :)

Highly unlikely for your first time. If you keep doing it though then you will probably develop a regular use pattern. In my experience crack is not addictive like cigarettes are. After a night of doing crack most people that i did rock with could function the next day with no pangs for more rock. Whereas people addicted to cigarettes must service the addiction on an hourly basis. Quitting crack was far easier for me than quitting cigarettes.
Crack can play with your mind negatively though. I don't know how many times i would be laying in my bed waiting for a bullet in the head. There was no reason for me to feel this way. I did crack with my brother and some friends and none of us even owned guns. Just drug induced paranoia. The paranoia can be pretty frightening so beware. For me the attraction to crack was that first hit of the night and probably true of most users. After that it is ,give me another,and another,and another, until you run out.

Nothing good has ever come from it, in the long run, for anyone I've ever known who used. Why take the chance?

Cocaine gives a very short lived and very strong feeling of euphoria and invincibility. The fact that it is short lived just makes itself ripe to give high levels of desire to regain the euphoria and invincibility during the swift decline.

When you smoke it or inject it you make the high "higher" and increase the swiftness with which it comes on and declines and so this just magnifies cocaine's very nature.

Nothing like putting your feet up after a hard day's work, sitting in front of a blazing fireplace and doing a little blazing of your own. The draw, so smooth. The flavor, unbeatable. One taste will leave you wanting more. Lucky Strike Crack Rocks - the gentleman's choice.

I would say no... I once worked with a huge hippie... told me his crack story and how little he liked it... never had the urge to try it again.

Nah..

I smoked rock once (not crack), pretty much hated it, never did it again.

And it's NOT because I don't have an addictive personality, just didn't care for it. That, and the dude I smoked it with freaked out later that night..

Basically felt the same way about powder the 1-2 times I did that.

Meh..

..it's a dope dealers dream come true. constant revenue form dopers that think they can quit any time. similar to tobacco.

It is a highly addictive substance, so I'm sure the first hit is all that's needed for addiction for some people.

Addicted,no....willing to beat someone up for abnother hit,sure and then that 2nd hit is not a nice as the first and the ball is rolling and your pockets are empty.
