Crack is supposed to be some super addictive, widespread problem, but less than 33% of people that try crack get addicted. Not to mention it's one of the less popular abused drugs anyways. There is also the term "crack baby", and the common thought that children of crack addicts are handicaped. Actually, most "crack babies" aren't effected by the drug itself. Children of crack users usually develop fine with proper education, living standards, etc. Now (the legal drugs) ciggarettes and alcohol on the other hand, that's a different story. 80% of ciggarette users end up getting addicted! Not to mention these legal drugs fuck up the children of the users' like some shit. How many people have died from the legal drugs vs. the illegal ones? How many people die from prescription drug abuse (while less than 1% of the 'war on drugs' budget is spent to help)? And how many people have died from marijuana!?!?!?!? Christ, that drug doesn't do shit to harm people and yet we have the 5-0 breaking down peoples' doors for a marijuana bust at 4 in the morning, assuming the suspect is dangerous and filling the room with bullet holes, blood, and terrorized children and family members... "Oops, wrong house"
