Only because it was more available than the mild stuff. However, today, you can get beer for cheap and it is more available. Look to drugs though and you see that cocaine is just as available as crack. And many rich users still choose Crack.

cocaine is less available to the poor due to the inflated price of drug. It's possible now that the genie is out of the bottle (or the crack is out of the pants) they may not go back to regular cocaine, but new users may tend toward regular cocaine because they see how insane crackheads are. In columbia they chew the leaves that cocaine is derived from. it's a mild stimulant and causes little harm. by prohibiting the substance we caused the people selling the drug to focus on more concentrated forms. first that gets us cocaine, then crack. this is not progress.

I haven't heard of any rich people destroying their lives with crack. Do you have any examples of wealthy people with crack problems? I'm not talking about someone who does it once in a while and doesn't go insane. Are there any that lost it due to the drug rather than the drug laws?

Do you have any examples of wealthy people with crack problems?

Sports stars, Many on the Dallas Cowboys, Daryll Strawberry, many Movie stars such as Max Wright, and too many musicians to name. The reason they are the most known about is because their lives are so public. Crack is a more concentrated form of coke, and it makes you feel higher, why in the hell wouldn't people prefer it?
