So I was watching a season 2 episode of IT's always Sunny and the two kids got addicted to crack. I was curious after watching the episode, why would anyone actually take crack?

So I looked up a website and I still don't get it. At first I was like, maybe it's much cheaper, but nope, it actually looks like it's more expensive per period of time you get high.

Crack is $40 for 1/4th of a gram. Cocaine is 120-150$ for 3.5 grams.

3.5 grams of crack would cost $160*3.5 or about $540.

Meanwhile I looked at the effects of each of them.

Cracks effects are instant but only last 5-10 minutes. The instant high is the only advantage I can see.

Cocaine though takes 3-5 minutes to have an effect if you snort it and lasts 15-30 minutes. If you inject it, it takes 15-20 minutes to have an effect and lasts 20-60 minutes.

Obviously the most cost effective method for the longest high is to inject cocaine, so even if your poor it would make WAY more sense to buy 3.5 grams even if it's $150 for that, then to buy a bunch of 40$ pieces of crack.

So...why does ANYONE take crack? It's also supposedly more addictive if you do take it.

Anyway a drug expert on here? I think cocaine and crack have even been de-criininalized in Oregon now.
