Opinions - is cocaine HCl better than crack cocaine ?

[i like wimmins]

Swim was thinking about it today. he had smoked crack many times, generally purchasing it because it was readily available (and he was drunk), but he has come to realize that its very possible that he hates the stuff.
True, the high is pretty intense, but he no longer thinks that its worth it. Unlike the (relatively) slow comedown of coke, shortly after a haul of crack, it feels like to high is being torn out of him. Where he was once rushing and sweaty, he is instantly and unbearably wet and cold - and craving another pull with an almost dangerous desire. And the high isn't even all that good. SWIM would much rather a nice line instead of a lungfull, but he can't seem to think when under the influence of rock.
Also, it goes SO fast! It doesn't seem to matter whether SWIM purchases a 40-piece or a 100-piece, they're both gone like that! SWIM has had enough troubles with spending too much cash on Snow, but he has found himself borrowing money to futily try and maintain a crack buzz.
SWIM is generally a VERY generous person when it comes to sharing his narcotics, but he becomes an instantaneous/unreachable fiendy dick-wad after hitting the pipe. His friends have all been put out by these actions. watching as he pathetically crawls his floor for the rock he is convinced he dropped. None of them seem to get this bad, wtf?
It wouldn't upest him so much if the high was truly amazing, but, as he has stated, it is mediocre at best. But the fiending seems to come from nowhere - out of the lack of a high, as opposed to the wish to prolong the high itself.

Anyone out there in a simliar boat?Edited by: i like wimmins
