Because they're not doing coke. They're doing crack. Like I said, you got no idea what you're talkign bout. Crack ahnialates muscle mass like what happened to Bobby Brown's jaw. The smoke wears down on the gums and makes those fragile-ass teeth fall out right after it yellows them a little, recedes eyes in their sockets, makes your bones like you're 70 and your organs aren't too far behind it. All around, bad stuff. It essential;y ages you with very hit. The "high" from crack is over what's charted by studies of "range of capable emotion" by neurologists, so needless to say you can imagine that it's very powerful. It puts a chemical in your body that your body thinks it needs, which is what causes you to jones for it exactly like food. Your 3 priorities become Food, Water and Crack, and not neccessarily in that order. I've seen some functional crack users (who for some reason I'm not sure of, never really call it "crack") or I'd even call them "career crack users" since thy'll hit on it like once or twice a month and been doing it for YEARS but it's probably about 10-15% of the crack users I know of. The rest are either spinning outta control or already have.


Cocaine has none of these attributes. The stronger stuff (OR crappy cut) will dissolve nasal tissue over the course of years, depending on the amount of use, and as Schema accurately said, there's essentially 3 levels of the high. You spend a lot of time in the 3rd and more volatile zone and you'll eventualyl wear away at your sternum over a few years AND you'll strain the valves in your heart - IF you keep that high level of dosage in your system that is. If you spend 66% of the time in that comfortable range, then the damages to your body are marginal and a fraction of what I mentioned earlier. The worst thing people see on average is things as a result of not eating (like so many celeb's weight-loss programs) since coke eliminates your appetite for hours at a time.
