The trouble is that it is fleeting and then youre just left with the desperation for more.

Yeah, that is a big reason I've never taken drugs honestly. I don't like doing illegal things, and they are expensive, but also, I already have things that I enjoy but are really expensive, and those kinda suck cause I can't have them as much as I want.

Even pizza is like that lol. King crab legs are a good example, probably more expensive then crack/cocaine actually. I really enjoy king crab, but yeah, you pay like $100+ per pound of actual crab meat, but unlike cocaine etc you just get the pleasure of the taste for the few seconds your chewing on it etc.

$100 worth of crab might give you pleasure for 10-15 minutes of actual eating at most.

I wouldn't really need the additional addictive qualities to make me...well addicted, if taking a drug made me feel really good. I would never take heroin for instance, I had a friend once when 19 that started taking heroin and his personality totally changed.

It was really sad, he had a wife and a young child at home, but ended up stealing from everyone (including me) and dissapearing. Heroin is evil.

I have known people who took crack (younger friends back in that same age range) and cocaine (more professional friends/relatives), that didn't seem to be massivly affected by it (other then using it to stay away for long periods of time). I saw the same friends years later after moving back to the bay area with my wife though and they looked really really bad at that point.

I think I get it a bit though from reading more as well, $20-$40 is sometimes all people can scrounge up, so while buying $150 worth of cocaine makes more sense over all, and will give more of a high for a longer period of time, people want the high RIGHT AWAY and don't want to save up $150 etc, and as soon as they get $20-40...they just go get some crack.

Still seems crazy that ANYONE would take it, but I bet alot of people don't know how addictive it is, or the diff between it and cocaine etc.
