I never tried any hard drugs thank god. I can hear the honesty and pain in your voice. Everyone thinking about trying drugs should watch this. You actually painted a vivid and fucked up portrait of crack addiction. I hope all is well with your sobriety.Stay Safe.
I'm 4 years clean next month from crack and heroin, and was scripted which lasted 8 1/2 years I came off it all by myself weaned myself from my script an went cold turkey, not the nicest but I did and all I can say I'm so glad to be clean! I've tried to explain how crack feels to someone whose never done drugs and u explain it so well I'm gonna show people Ur videos when they ask! X
What does crack really feel like : you are hungry and have a great meal in front of you. Everytime you smoke crack is like putting some of the food into your mouth but after a few minutes you have to spit in out and you are never allowed to swallow it. And each time, you have to put less in your mouth and you have to spit it out sooner. So the more you smoke the more you want it, you never feel satisfied no matter how much you smoke.
I smoked crack for 10 years I lost everything. It was a horrible habit I lost my job my family I lost everything. Please dont even try it Im pleading with you, begging you whoever is seeing my comment.
Im addicted to smoking crack and i iv cocaine. So youre not alone. Recovery is possible. God bless you and angels guard you always. Xxx love from england 🇬🇧💜💖🇬🇧@harrygrewal9208
Crack was never my thing, but meth was. Fent too. It's been a wild ride to get to where I am and today I am humbled to say I am 5 1/2 years clean. Thanks for creating awareness on this :)
This video is excellent. I have no history of drug use but you talk about it so openly, and you don't patronize and it makes the whole thing fascinating it makes me want to learn more and watch your other videos
Thank you for putting this out there ! Lately I really need this I've been clean for 3 years 4 months but its been a daily fight every minute of everyday lately! After watching this I'm so glad I didn't try something new !! I truly can't thank you enough
You got this Joy. Congrats on your sobriety!!! I think its been tough for everyone lately but you got it. One thing I always remember is that drugs or alcohol never made any problem in my life better they always made it worse.
I have a friend who got hooked by his neighbor on crack, got to the point where he Pawned his Surround Sound, TV, even got a Car Title Loan for his BMW car about 4,000 dollars just to buy more crack. He would say this is my last day smoking it man, then buy some more the next day progressed from a 20 to 40 to 60 then bout 100bucks daily worth of crack. The neighbor who introduced him is a Homeless young man who Pan Handles for a living to buy crack. My question to you is how hard is it to come off it? I tried talking some sense into him but nothing works to the point where he quit his job just to go get the fix. He got this bad cough blames it on the Brillo that he would finish the crack and keep smoking straight pipe without anything in it. Good video hope u can do better as well.
Hey man that sucks sorry to hear about your friend Hope he can find his way to sobriety. It's very hard to come off of. In my experience crack was the most psychologically addicting substance I ever tried Crack/injecting cocaine and meth all up there. Idk why but the uppers leave an imprint in your brain its hardddd. Buts it's very very possible tons of people have done it. I was injecting over an 8 ball of coke a day and smoking crack to top it off and i'm clean and sober multiple years from that stuff. not easy but he can do it. He needs support 12-step or outpatient something. Hope that helps best of luck man
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Yea i think its hard to talk about things like addiction if we haven't experienced it. Just like I would never try to tell a Rape victim how they feel. I have no idea.
I want to share my story. I've tried crack once in a lifetime. BELIEVE ME, THE OUTCOME IS NOT WORTH THE EFFECT. It was only one night joy, but I do agree - it's SO addictive and that's so dangerous, because at this moment you don't really understand what's happening - you just become more talkative, relaxed and hyped at the same time. The moment you realise, how bad it is, is the moment when you run out of it - my body was shaking, I couldn't sleep, I was feeling so sick but understood, that throwing up will not change a thing, because this shit is in my blood. REMEMBER, IT WAS ONLY ONE NIGHT, not months or years. PLEASE, PLEASE stay away from this drug, it breaks my heart to think about how many people are strugling with it like rn. Stay safe and sober 🙏 It's not worth it, believe me.
Thanks for sharing that Ema. Im so so so glad you only did it once and were done. Most people once ends up lasting 5 years and they lose everything thats how it was for me. Thanks for sharing with everyone stay safe!!!!
@@savagelove1044 my wife her girlfriend and I are smoking it now. We’ve been for awhile. We both hold good jobs. Nice clean house. Nice vehicles. Kick ass Harley.
This is crazy informative. I wonder if doing a video on the effects of alcohol would be a good video for our channel. I hesitate to do one on “what getting drunk feels like”. I don’t want to cause a trigger effect for some one. Thanks for posting. Subscribed!
I find it very interesting how cocaine induces a very intense high for about 5-15 minutes which is then immediately followed by a crash, which is the complete opposite of the high. And how the crash and withdrawal symptoms last a lot longer than the high. Doing cocaine doesn't seem worth it in my opinion.
And from what I understand, the more you use cocaine, the more intense the crash becomes, so your depression will get even worse with every use. It will get so bad that you will do almost anything to get the drug-even commit murder. www.drugfreeworld.org/drugfacts/crackcocaine/effects-of-crack-cocaine.html
@@sharpmerciful787 yeah that’s why it’s so addictive, most people want to leave the withdrawal more then they want to enter the high, they still obviously crave the high but they crave it so much more because of the intense withdrawal, they just want it to go away. Compare it to meth which is more then 3 times more intense, it releases 1500 dopamine levels compared to crack which is 400 so crack lasting 10-30 minutes has nothing on meth which lasts 12-16 hours and it way more intense but the come down from Meth is less intense then crack
You are so welcome. And i wish you the best with the man in your life. I got to be honest its not going to be easy. Getting off crack is not easy and he has to want it. Please take care of yourself during the process.
@@Soberdogs he calls me in which we were located in NC and I left and moved to Florida this past Friday. I had to leave due to the fact the whole situation was breaking my heart and he would become abusive
I just want to say you look healthy & I’m glad you’re doing better! I have just watched two short videos of someone on this drug and suddenly became curious.
Thank you very much. crack is the devil! literally it is the devil in substance form! it is so damn addicting and when it runs out its the lowest depression I've ever felt!! thank you for the support!!!
My curiosity of crack got me. Walked in on my wife and her girlfriend at her house smoking it. My wife got right up and handed me the pipe. 1st hit got me. We still do it. We function fine. Jobs. Nice house and cars. Harley. $$ in the bank.
I'm so glad you're putting all this info out! Thank you! I've heard of it described this way; I haven't done either. I mean that's good I guess, but I don't have experience with it. And wow, I can't imagine leaving my/a kid at the dealers. No judgement at all, that's just so sad!
Wow! He described it well! Put me off for sure, I always thought it wasn’t that addictive because I didn’t understand what it did to you till now. They ought to play this video to young teens at school, so they know what it is when they are offered it, and can make better choices.
Lucia thank you That would be incredible if they played this video to kids lol. I would love to convey the dangers of some of these substances to everyone. I always thought "never me" until it was too late.
Thanks for this information, I've been dealing with this situation with a friend and not knowing what was going on with her when she was high or coming down. It helps me a great deal to understand her a bit better. Good luck to you on keeping clean.
Thanks so much Charles YEA it can be so hard when someone you care about is using because you can be like " why is she treating me like this what did I do?" and in reality you did nothing bad or wrong its the drugs playing games in her brain one minute she is happy and high as a kite and 3 minutes later she is in massive depression mode so sad is she willing to get any help? so sorry your going thru this
@@Soberdogs I am not sure if she is willing to get help and stop. I have not seen her since Covid started, but will see her in the new year. I hope things have changed for her or I can help her when we reconnect. But so much in her life needs to change for her to get better, not just the drugs.
@@Symbu thats a tough situation Charles. I hope when you see her she is in a better place and trying to seek help. I wish you and her the best of luck man!!! your dead right its not easy we basically have to change our whole lives but its so much better on the other side
good lol please dont try it just one time can start a cycle of miseryyy I vape to better than smoking to me way better still want to quit at some point
I’ve danced with the devil on many occasions but I’m clean now over 2 years and you explained everything perfectly. I’m just curious as how I used in Europe and over here we smoke it through a water bottle and a pen with foil on the top holes poked through and some ash on the foil and then the rocks on top of the ash. Oh and the water bottle is half filled. So much better than those rose stems or whatever you called them. Anyone who reads this Don’t smoke crack this guys explains it perfect. Don’t dance with the devil.
Hey kyle...its Irish Debb!! I heard crack is a rich mans drug? Is it true hun...also the high do sent last long?? Xto be honest it doesn't sound like fun kyle??...NO DRUGS ARE FUN ..I KNOW...BUT I COULNDT DEAL WITH THAT KIND OF COME DOWN....MAN U DESERVE A MEDAL FOR ALL YOU DO AND HAVE DONE....🥰🥰🥰
thank you so much deb the way its always said ion the US is coke is rich mans drug and crack is poor mans coke then now they say meth is poor mans speed or hillybilly speed in my opinion thats just some labels they gave in the 80's cause coke was mostly a white persons drug and crack was used by more black people so the media needed a way to spin it into races and classes but in reality white, black, orange green doesnt matter rich poor crack and coke are everywhere every class, race, everywhere
Hey man I'm so glad to have come across this as you said something very important to me. The bit where u mentioned that bit about people saying dont talk to me while or after doing my hit. I thought this was only me. I used for about 7months not everyday but enough. I loved the bell ringers they were heavenly and so godlike. However there were times when I would take a hit and someone I'd be with would talk to me or say something and I'd feel myself getting high or coming up but then that person would distract me and like with a click of your fingers my high would go and I'd feel so annoyed and pissed off. In turn this would affect my heart rate and everything as I'd still have the crack in me but with no euphoria or anything. I feel this has never left me and my brain and life has not been normal I don't feel a part of reality man. Like I've lost my mind. Will my brain ever heal from this? Please will you get back to me thanks
Hey Vickram You are not alone brotha lots of others out there struggle with this and got those same feelings. In my opinion cocaine is one of the most psychologically addicting drugs ever We remember that bell ringer years after we took that last hit...."but always play the tape all the way through" When you think about using again remember all the pain and misery that follow the 2 minutes of pleasure....Also YES YOUR BRAIN WILL GET BETTER. Dr Halligan a board certified addiction psychologist says that after 90 days of sobriety they can see changes in cocaine addicts brains where its starting to repair itself and that it can takes up to 2 years. Everyday you stay clean you heal a little more. You got this brotha!!!!!
@@Soberdogs thank you so much for you reply. I have so many questions regarding the way I've been feeling which I believe is due to this period where I was abusing this drug. I feel my personality has changed, well everything has changed and feel like I've gone mad. Its like everyday I try my best to hide the fact I used this drug to people and I look in the mirror and don't recognise myself. I don't know if it's just my pshcological perception I have created when I think of a crackhead but I feel like I look like that. I don't know if u understand what I'm saying but basically I just have been feeling horrible inside. It's like I'm trying to disguise the fact I used to people. Do you know if crack can change people forever
@@vickramchuni4391 I know any drug can change people for long term but I really don't think this will last forever. I think you may need some help like with a professional addiction counselor or therapist to work through some of the issues your having. I totally get that One of the reasons I started Soberdogs was because i was hiding my past from everyone and It was killing me so I decided to open up to everyone. I'm not saying you need to do that but find your outlet. Find that thing you love (dogs, hiking, working out, church, whatever) and get involved I bet it will start to make you feel better and remember you are not your drug. Just because you used crack doesn't mean your always a crackhead no no no you are vickram and you need to love yourself and remember we all make mistakes keep pushing forward
I've always struggled with alcoholism but I think it's safe to say I'm more then alcoholic now I've been bingeing on crack and it's making me really depressed and down on my self I'm going to get professional help in like a month tho
I’ve only done powder maybe 4 times in my life & just hearing the description of the euphoria has my nervous system turning up. I don’t even remember the feeling, but it seems my brain still does.
Matthew isnt that insane damn damn damn that how powerful that shit is "Your brain remembers it" damn for real it does insane strong chemical reactions to just seeing and hearing things
Was addicted to Klonopin for like 3-4 years of my life until i mixed it with a substances i wont say, and it all started to rapidly destroy my life, as well as all my relationships! Im glad i quit when i did because i couldnt do ANYTHING without Klonopin during those years i was on it. Thank god that i can now live without it! It’s hard to quit, but I now understand that sooner or later it had to stop! Btw, im glad you’re sober now!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that!!! Facts and truth. But many times we don’t hear the deep real issues with addiction. We hear the awful or the great and not the inbetween
Thanks for this informative video. My mother has been smoking crack for ten years and I've always just turned a blind eye to it because we've had a very strained relationship due to her drug addiction. I've never witnessed her doing the actual drug until a few weeks ago and it was like a punch to my gut. Is it possible for her to only be doing this drug casually? I hope she can get sober but how can you help someone who does not want to be helped...
Hey, Karen Sorry about your situation crack is an awful awful drug. In my opinion and experience, very very few people can casually smoke crack. I have met a few that only did it every once in a while but they all had another drink or drug they did daily. The thing that makes crack diff than like heroin is heroin we go into physical withdrawal and have awful flu-like symptoms if we don't have it. With crack, you don't get that but you get a mental detox. many people including myself have smoked crack daily for a month then ran out of money or whatever and stopped and the days after I was physically fine to go to work and stuff but was a mental mess I hope she is just doing it occasionally because then it will be easier for her to get sober. I wish you the best. Please reach out if you have any more questions or concerns
@@Soberdogs thank you for what u do. Your channel came up in my feeds randomly a few days after seeing my mother smoking crack. I binge watched all your videos and it gave me insight into why she does drugs and the highs and lows she goes through and understanding her bizzare behavior at times. Her and her boyfriend were using heroin and smoking crack for many years. They would get so desperate he would prostitute himself to get more money. He died and over dosed in front of my mother one night of partying and that still hasn't stopped her from doing drugs. In my 29 years of life, Her main addiction started with anorexia, to alcoholism, to prescription drugs and she eventually moved on to harder drugs. She's been kicked out of the only rehab center that was willing to help her for free because she tried to create a suicide pack... So many fucked up stories I could go on and on about....... With the quarntine going on in the world I decided to video chat her, and she literally picked up her pipe (the one they sell at corner stores with the rose in it as you describe it in ur other videos) and started smoking her crack in front of me via video chat and showed me how dirty her pipe was.... Ive never confronted her about her lifestyle or drug use in ten years or ever told any one about these issues, it's very emberassing. I'm almost 30 years old and her demons are still following me into my adult hood. Sorry for rambling, but I just wanna say you were given a second chance at life, I don't know you but I'm so proud of ur recovery and I know there is still a small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel for my mom too one day. Keep up the videos coming, you have a new supporter here from Vancouver bc ✌️
@@karenl3231 Thank you so much karen. Thats wild that she just smokes it in front of you there is more of a glimmer of hope for her it's up to her. If she wants to get sober she can. I know many people in their 50-60- and even 70's who got sober. The hardest part for you is watching all that over the years and seeing someone you love hurt themselves and not having any control over it. Please no matter what happens take care of yourself and don't blame yourself. many kids and parents blame themselves for a loved ones addiction. you are an inspiration to everyone out there who has family in active addiction I always say parents and family of people in active addiction are angels for what they deal with and put up with.
This is literally me today. I saw my mother do it for the first time after knowing in the back of my head she has been doing it for 10+ years. I felt like a kid who found out Santa want real. I am a married 37 years old woman with 4 kids and that made me want to ball up and cry.
My neighbour uses a couple drugs. I stay away from him lol. It smells like burnt plastic at times. And then it smells like a sweet candy burnt scent. I think its crack. The second smoke gets me a bit irritated at times. Stay clean friends...
Question, I’ve always wanted for ask an addict. Are you worried about being able to retire? I am 43 and have plenty saved and a house that’s paid for, but I constantly worry I won’t be able to retire comfortably. Do you ever think of that?
Thank you very much for this information man I have a concern , one of my close friends has been using crack for some time now. I don't now exactly for how long but I can notice his teeth have been looking all messed up and some of his molars have fallen already. How would you approach a loved one to have the conversation about getting help with the situation? regards,
The sad thing is no one will ever get help until they are ready and want it. With that being said I would plant seeds of how he doesn't have to live that way anymore. There are millions of people who have been in his shoes and have found recovery and it is so much better than addiction. See if he is receptive to treatment or going to AA/NA meetings. You can't force him but you can offer suggestions and be there when he is ready. When he is sick and tired of being sick and tired he will get help I pray that when that comes its not to late. Most addicts don't want to be addicts so they are open to a different way but I would not get mad at him or put him down just be there and be supportive but don't enable him. Hopefully that helps a little. Its so hard to watch someone you love destroy themselves Im praying for you and him!!!!
Yea but less intense The crack high is quicker stronger and faster and the comdown comes quicker and faster, cocaine has the same effects but everything takes a little longer and less intense. So with crack it's almost instant high...high for 2-5 minutes, then after 10 minutes you get a 20 minutes awful comedown, with coke it's your snort it takes 3-4 minutes to kick in and then your high for 20 min then a 30 min less intense but still horrible comedown.
Sober Dogs great info, crack is clearly a lot worse than coke. I remember doing coke and I wanted more so bad but smoking weed makes it ok. Not sure if crack is the same. Also 2-5 minute high is literally nothing
hahah Thanks Janet I don't know if your joking or not but I get comments on my eyebrows all the time. I'm 100% serious they grown just like this. I don't do anything to them. My barber said to me one time that i needed to do something lol so he said he could give them a trim so now I let him give them a little trim but they honestly grow weird just like you see. As long as i don't every have a unibrow I don't really care how they look lol .
I can totally understand that definitely anxiety sometimes with the topic but I also have noticed that with time and a good recovery program it's a lot easier for me to talk about certain things and cope with them I wouldn't wish a crack addiction on my worst enemy
I did it once it changes your perspective on life and I remember frieking out and nearly blacked out on the floor because I didn't eat, the come down ain't worth it TRUST ME on dat
Crack cocaine! This friend named Joe Dukes told me his mother [is/]was a crack addict. I've seen at least one person, living in my highrise many years ago, smoking it. It's this white powdery ball that he put into a short glass pipe. I was never addicted to street drugs, thank god, but I was addicted to internet chatrooms from 1999 to 2019. I can relate to the extreme highs and extreme lows afterwards, from being addicted to getting other people's attention online. Addiction doesn't have to be just a substance. It can be an activity too, like the internet, like using computers.
Wow Harry that’s fascinating. Can you explain a little More. I’ve never heard addicted to chat room. I’ve heard about addicted to phones and technology. But that’s unique. Glad ur doing better now. And ur so right doesn’t have to be just substances
@@Soberdogs I'm a sex addict also, which is related (another drug). There's something pleasurable about receiving a lot of [positive] attention from other people, and seeing that these people respond to you as if they're responding to everything you say or do. It's like feeling loved by everybody. Everything you touch turns to gold and nothing you do can be wrong. I thought to myself, maybe this is what POWER [or maybe some kind of profound CONNECTION] feels like, maybe this is the high that actors talk about when they say acting [on stage or in front a camera] is like some kind of orgasmic experience. This is why comedians do what they do. This is why troublemakers in school do what they do. They all want other people's ATTENTION. In the case of the school troublemaker, that person is attracting both positive and NEGATIVE attention. Michael Jackson said he loved being on stage, but his off-stage life was not so ecstatic.
Ken Wheeler (Theoria Apophasis) wrote "The fool desires, whereas the wise man rejects". Can detachment [to all things and others] coexist simultaneously with compassion? A drug addict asked me once, "What are you addicted to?"
watched two people OD back in the day before cell phones. one girl had to walk 5-6 blocks to a pay phone when she flopped on the sidewalk, other one was my buddy showed up out the blue, and collapse bout a min after I open the door from him knocking.. Had no idea wtf until after the ambulance got him..
Damn brotha that sucks. I hope they are both alright. That must of been so hard cause it would take so long for people to get help and im sure Narcan was no where to be found except in hospitals.
I don’t agree I think that’s only true for some people that they will do anything to get out of it. Very rarely would I be down that badly and usually took a few hours
I need help the symptoms sound right but you didn’t say anything about heart rate going up and almost cardiac arrest death .. what did they lace my weed with it almost killed me ?
I was on crack and heroin for a lot of years but one thing I vowed never to touch was meth and I never did. I like the video and I like the way you are telling the good and bad. You really do become a slave slave to it and its very hard to stay away from as its psychological, someone mentioned it or you think about it and that's it you have to have it until you get clean and with the right counselling
So So tru yes there is a great feeling when using drugs for a few minutes thats why we always go back but as addicts I think we tend to remember the good and forgot the bad you said it perfect we become a slaveeee I needed to get high 5-6 times a day everyday or I couldnt do anything
@@Soberdogs yes that's so true! We forget all the crap like having no money and screaming for more. We only remember sitting getting high. I wonder if we remembered the bad shit, would we keep going back?
Another thing I was just looking up is how the human brain is designed to kinda suppress negative and painful feelings so we remember the good way easier than the bad. This is like a survival mechanism to not be in a constant state of panic and negativity.
@@Soberdogs yeah I've heard that too. I think it was from a friend who was getting hypnosis for addiction to crack and heroin, the woman told her that we only remember the good bits and not the bad which is why we go back until we are ready to stop x
I locked my self in a dingy apartment with a friend and we smoked a 8 ball and I remember just staring out of the window for HOURS smoking cigarettes and couldn't speak or move because I smoked by self into a stuck coma. 🙃
hahahahaha dude so many people say that to me i dont do shit to my brows lol they grow exactly how they look I trim the middle where the unibrow would be that's it lol hahahah thanks for the support
I never got the bugs sensation, but I’ve heard about it , I would start to hear whispering voices , and servers paranoia witch doesn’t sound pleasant but in the act it was almost what you wanted, lol weird stuff not good at all
@@Soberdogs thanks man , i so nearly did it once i had the pipe to my mouth but one person in the room said(a crackhead)said 'if you never did it you not miss it' very fukin wise words that i wisely heard!
@@terrencekelly1256 those r wise wise words glad he was a good person to tell you that I know many addicts that are so miserable they want others to be dragged down with them The first time I was gonna shoot up everyone in the car said-- dont do it dont use a needle man-- I argued and did it anyway but they were so right I wish I listened
OMG exactly its the ultimate LOVE HATE relationship we know how bad it is and how we will feel lower than we ever felt yet we keep using it for that 2 min high
I won't say that it isn't addictive to others, but in my experience, I mever had a problem with it. When I was playing at least 2 shows a week, cocaine was around me almost all the time and given to me freely a lot of the time. It definitely doesn't seem to have the extreme physical symptoms of coming of opiates, but then again I'm by no means an expert at all and I could be completely wrong, I'm only speaking about my personal experience with it, having done it so many times for an extended period of time.
So schizinit let me ask you was it cocaine or crack? in my experience there is a huge huge difference I also did cocaine occasionally for years but once it escalated to crack it was a whole new ball game. I totally agree with you that the withdrawal is not like opiates but to me the mental withdrawal of crack and uppers is worse that opiates and downers.
It cant help if a crack head has bed bugs it roaches ! Ha~ I can imagine.. I'm strait opioid person, I'm too high strung for uppers.. when i was young and still experimenting I shot crack a few times with my ex, I'd feel great for about 2 minutes, then want more, then have a crazy panic attack till I got an opioid.. since I'm not a great fan of panic attacks, I never touch the stuff! Not even tempted .. the last time I was on a stimulants bender, we were shooting ritalin, I hadnt slept in a week and my band had a show that night where I knew wed be drinking.. I had a terrible night, my boyfriend flushed his phone down the toilet.. I vowed I'd never touch a stimulant again and I never did! I wish I felt that way about the opioids
Quick question. What if I quit for 1 year and half then relapsed while drunk. Will I get cravings?? 🤔🤔I regret doing it again, just did it because I was with some "friends" that were using meth. I hate meth, but the idea of Crack crossed my mind.
I'm not sure. The good part is you did it once and then stopped so you didn't give your body time to get hooked again. It might bring back a few cravings but they should be weaker and go away quicker than when you were using daily.
@@Soberdogs That is so true. Maybe it's just the Devil trying to play tricks on my mind. I've been praying with all my heart for God to take any taste or "good memories" from my mind and to remind me of all the NEGATIVE that comes from crack. Thank you for your comment.
It affects different people differently. My roommate would smoke and she’d be cool calm collected and sometimes even fell asleep!! Me??? I shake, uncontrollably, cannot walk straight or up and down stairs, my muscles just contract like I took a bunch of Gabas.. then I start cleaning. I can’t sit still and there’s always something to clean!! Hahahha I started seeing shadow people at the end when I was up for 4 days on crack 😹 cuz I didn’t have any heroin and I needed a high! Oh! And don’t talk to me cuz I can’t get a word out anyway and my bedroom window better have a blanket over it! Haha
Nailed it lol ... I use to smoke when I was younger like 19-23 I never use to trip like alot of people but oh boy did I want to rip thru a 8ball in a couple hours.... stupid times man I can say I don't miss them but I can't say I didn't have fun. IF YOU HAVENT TRIED IT AND ARE CURIOUS....DONT DO IT! IT CAN TAKE CONTROL OF YOU I KNOW ALOT OF PPL WHO ARE HOOKED AND BEEN SMOKING 15 PLUS YEARS AND THEY R FUCKED 💯
Speak that truth. Jay. Of course there was some fun times yes your right but in the end it was terrible like u said. Just over and over and over wanting more and more and more and more. Thanks for the support
Sounds like in a metal tunnel. If interested in audio technicalities, the it's the same sound as a 'comb filter'. Not sure about feel good, more like instant paranoia. I also suffer from severe depression although used to it after 30 odd years. You wouldn't believe that my 'normal' is the same as the average persons 'crack comedown' - at least I can't get a debilitating comedown.
yea yea very tru and damn man that sucks i know depression but not on a constant level like that sorry to hear that. You take meds or have anything that helps with that?
@@Soberdogs Yeah, been on anti-depresants for about the same length of time. Can't function properly without them. I only know the level as I tried the stuff you talk about. While everyone is left in a wrecked state afterwards I just slowly return to 'normal', keeping the same state of mind I had before consuming - I did try leaving off them for a few weeks and see if any difference (as apparently the combination can be dangerous) but no difference. I can either have the anti-d's or the other, the overall effect is the same (other than the cost, and effect not lasting quite as long - up to several days, surprisingly; although the short term effect is obviously quite different)
@@threeMetreJim wow yea thats tough but so tru i take ssri's to and they have helped me so much so so much some people they help others they barley do anything for
And during the next days of abstinence (So I overcame the abstinence period next of the crack sesions) i don't do it again, i feel rare the next days, next weeks?
@@owyperu ooo I c I think that definitely is real People will use it and then days or even weeks later have compulsions to use again. To me, that's untreated addiction. The obsession will always be there unless it gets treated.
I tried crack once, but didn't like it. It gave me a lot anxiety and I didn't like that racing heart feeling. My body also felt like it was going into fight or flight mode.
Im so glad you didn't like it Matthew. My first time I didn't like it either yet i tried it again and got hooked. I bet your body was going into fight or flight mode for sure. It releases an enormous amount of dopamine that are bodies have never felt before.
in my experience first you got to stop using drugs let them get out of the system, second is see if they are real (lice, scabies, ect) or not, third it takes time to rewire your brain to not think bugs are everywhere, I haven't smoked crack in years and I still have an iossue when i get cat or dog hair on me thinking its bugs.
You def can but not always. My first time I threw up and got no effect yet years later I tried again and then got hooked i think it varies person to person
Wow! I love your details..this information was educational & thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the support!!!
You're doing society a service. Hugs
Thank you Very Much
I never tried any hard drugs thank god. I can hear the honesty and pain in your voice. Everyone thinking about trying drugs should watch this. You actually painted a vivid and fucked up portrait of crack addiction. I hope all is well with your sobriety.Stay Safe.
thanks so much Jerry that is exactly what i was going for it truly is a minute of pleasure followed by hours of pain and miseryyyyy
I'm 4 years clean next month from crack and heroin, and was scripted which lasted 8 1/2 years I came off it all by myself weaned myself from my script an went cold turkey, not the nicest but I did and all I can say I'm so glad to be clean!
I've tried to explain how crack feels to someone whose never done drugs and u explain it so well I'm gonna show people Ur videos when they ask! X
What does crack really feel like : you are hungry and have a great meal in front of you. Everytime you smoke crack is like putting some of the food into your mouth but after a few minutes you have to spit in out and you are never allowed to swallow it. And each time, you have to put less in your mouth and you have to spit it out sooner. So the more you smoke the more you want it, you never feel satisfied no matter how much you smoke.
that is an absolutely incredible analogy yes never ever feel satsified
thanks dude, I wish I didn't knew this shit that well
I smoked crack for 10 years I lost everything. It was a horrible habit I lost my job my family I lost everything. Please dont even try it Im pleading with you, begging you whoever is seeing my comment.
rogelio you are so so so right. It is the devil literally the devil in substance form so glad ur better now
Relapsed. 2months of daily crack use. My life is falling part but I can’t stop
Im addicted to smoking crack and i iv cocaine. So youre not alone. Recovery is possible. God bless you and angels guard you always. Xxx love from england 🇬🇧💜💖🇬🇧@harrygrewal9208
Crack was never my thing, but meth was. Fent too. It's been a wild ride to get to where I am and today I am humbled to say I am 5 1/2 years clean. Thanks for creating awareness on this :)
This video is excellent. I have no history of drug use but you talk about it so openly, and you don't patronize and it makes the whole thing fascinating it makes me want to learn more and watch your other videos
Thank you for putting this out there ! Lately I really need this I've been clean for 3 years 4 months but its been a daily fight every minute of everyday lately! After watching this I'm so glad I didn't try something new !! I truly can't thank you enough
You got this Joy. Congrats on your sobriety!!! I think its been tough for everyone lately but you got it. One thing I always remember is that drugs or alcohol never made any problem in my life better they always made it worse.
Interesting, thanks for the insight.....glad you're clean. Never tried drugs, but always wondered what it felt like. God bless.
So glad you didnt try them!!!
DONT EVER TRY THEM
Weed is ok tho
Any substance that has a psychoactive effect and has abuse potential can be considered a drug so also caffeine or sugar
I have a friend who got hooked by his neighbor on crack, got to the point where he Pawned his Surround Sound, TV, even got a Car Title Loan for his BMW car about 4,000 dollars just to buy more crack. He would say this is my last day smoking it man, then buy some more the next day progressed from a 20 to 40 to 60 then bout 100bucks daily worth of crack. The neighbor who introduced him is a Homeless young man who Pan Handles for a living to buy crack. My question to you is how hard is it to come off it? I tried talking some sense into him but nothing works to the point where he quit his job just to go get the fix. He got this bad cough blames it on the Brillo that he would finish the crack and keep smoking straight pipe without anything in it. Good video hope u can do better as well.
Hey man that sucks sorry to hear about your friend Hope he can find his way to sobriety. It's very hard to come off of. In my experience crack was the most psychologically addicting substance I ever tried Crack/injecting cocaine and meth all up there. Idk why but the uppers leave an imprint in your brain its hardddd. Buts it's very very possible tons of people have done it. I was injecting over an 8 ball of coke a day and smoking crack to top it off and i'm clean and sober multiple years from that stuff. not easy but he can do it. He needs support 12-step or outpatient something. Hope that helps best of luck man
Thanks a lot for this. There is nothing more powerful and informative than hearing that from someone who experienced it.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Yea i think its hard to talk about things like addiction if we haven't experienced it. Just like I would never try to tell a Rape victim how they feel. I have no idea.
It can take a really long time for your brain to get back to normal so you have to be patient with yourself when you quit. You WILL get through this!
Thats a fact Paul so so tru
I want to share my story.
I've tried crack once in a lifetime. BELIEVE ME, THE OUTCOME IS NOT WORTH THE EFFECT. It was only one night joy, but I do agree - it's SO addictive and that's so dangerous, because at this moment you don't really understand what's happening - you just become more talkative, relaxed and hyped at the same time. The moment you realise, how bad it is, is the moment when you run out of it - my body was shaking, I couldn't sleep, I was feeling so sick but understood, that throwing up will not change a thing, because this shit is in my blood. REMEMBER, IT WAS ONLY ONE NIGHT, not months or years. PLEASE, PLEASE stay away from this drug, it breaks my heart to think about how many people are strugling with it like rn. Stay safe and sober 🙏 It's not worth it, believe me.
Thanks for sharing that Ema. Im so so so glad you only did it once and were done. Most people once ends up lasting 5 years and they lose everything thats how it was for me. Thanks for sharing with everyone stay safe!!!!
That’s funny cause I’ve been smoking it and not that addictive lol I can go months without crack and back to it

thanks so much connor I appreciate that so much
This is crazy informative. I wonder if doing a video on the effects of alcohol would be a good video for our channel. I hesitate to do one on “what getting drunk feels like”. I don’t want to cause a trigger effect for some one. Thanks for posting. Subscribed!
Thank you. That is an interesting idea. I’m going over to check out ur channel right now. Thanks for the support
Wow, this is a very educational video. Surprised this doesn't have more views.
Thank you Very Much I Appreciate that!!!
I find it very interesting how cocaine induces a very intense high for about 5-15 minutes which is then immediately followed by a crash, which is the complete opposite of the high. And how the crash and withdrawal symptoms last a lot longer than the high. Doing cocaine doesn't seem worth it in my opinion.
And from what I understand, the more you use cocaine, the more intense the crash becomes, so your depression will get even worse with every use. It will get so bad that you will do almost anything to get the drug-even commit murder. www.drugfreeworld.org/drugfacts/crackcocaine/effects-of-crack-cocaine.html
@@sharpmerciful787 yeah that’s why it’s so addictive, most people want to leave the withdrawal more then they want to enter the high, they still obviously crave the high but they crave it so much more because of the intense withdrawal, they just want it to go away. Compare it to meth which is more then 3 times more intense, it releases 1500 dopamine levels compared to crack which is 400 so crack lasting 10-30 minutes has nothing on meth which lasts 12-16 hours and it way more intense but the come down from Meth is less intense then crack
The man I love I'm finding out is on crack and he is paranoid as hell. I love the detail oriented information you're giving. Thank you so much
You are so welcome. And i wish you the best with the man in your life. I got to be honest its not going to be easy. Getting off crack is not easy and he has to want it. Please take care of yourself during the process.
@@Soberdogs he calls me in which we were located in NC and I left and moved to Florida this past Friday. I had to leave due to the fact the whole situation was breaking my heart and he would become abusive
I just want to say you look healthy & I’m glad you’re doing better! I have just watched two short videos of someone on this drug and suddenly became curious.
Thank you very much. crack is the devil! literally it is the devil in substance form! it is so damn addicting and when it runs out its the lowest depression I've ever felt!! thank you for the support!!!
My curiosity of crack got me. Walked in on my wife and her girlfriend at her house smoking it. My wife got right up and handed me the pipe. 1st hit got me. We still do it. We function fine. Jobs. Nice house and cars. Harley. $$ in the bank.
@@tonysmith172 how was it the first time you tried 👀
@@fokoushipall7361. Like nothing other. Ended up smoking all wkend with my wife and our friends. Didn’t hurt she was head to toe in latex.
I'm so glad you're putting all this info out! Thank you! I've heard of it described this way; I haven't done either. I mean that's good I guess, but I don't have experience with it. And wow, I can't imagine leaving my/a kid at the dealers. No judgement at all, that's just so sad!
Wow! He described it well! Put me off for sure, I always thought it wasn’t that addictive because I didn’t understand what it did to you till now. They ought to play this video to young teens at school, so they know what it is when they are offered it, and can make better choices.
Lucia thank you That would be incredible if they played this video to kids lol. I would love to convey the dangers of some of these substances to everyone. I always thought "never me" until it was too late.
Thanks for this information, I've been dealing with this situation with a friend and not knowing what was going on with her when she was high or coming down. It helps me a great deal to understand her a bit better. Good luck to you on keeping clean.
Thanks so much Charles YEA it can be so hard when someone you care about is using because you can be like " why is she treating me like this what did I do?" and in reality you did nothing bad or wrong its the drugs playing games in her brain one minute she is happy and high as a kite and 3 minutes later she is in massive depression mode so sad is she willing to get any help? so sorry your going thru this
@@Soberdogs I am not sure if she is willing to get help and stop. I have not seen her since Covid started, but will see her in the new year. I hope things have changed for her or I can help her when we reconnect. But so much in her life needs to change for her to get better, not just the drugs.
@@Symbu thats a tough situation Charles. I hope when you see her she is in a better place and trying to seek help. I wish you and her the best of luck man!!! your dead right its not easy we basically have to change our whole lives but its so much better on the other side
I was always curious about that stuff. I only vape and have the odd beer. Good video dude!
good lol please dont try it just one time can start a cycle of miseryyy I vape to better than smoking to me way better still want to quit at some point
Don't be stupid bro

great video, love the explanation,
i'm sure it helped a lot of people

Thanks for doing what you do! Love and respect
You are so welcome Julius Thank you so much for the love and the support!!!!!!!
I’ve danced with the devil on many occasions but I’m clean now over 2 years and you explained everything perfectly. I’m just curious as how I used in Europe and over here we smoke it through a water bottle and a pen with foil on the top holes poked through and some ash on the foil and then the rocks on top of the ash. Oh and the water bottle is half filled. So much better than those rose stems or whatever you called them. Anyone who reads this Don’t smoke crack this guys explains it perfect. Don’t dance with the devil.
good for you it absolutly is a dance with the devil exactlyyyy
My wife and I use our gasmasks to smoke it.
Proud of you!
thank you @darrel jones I appreciate that so much !!!
@SoberDogs I'm in active crack and coke addiction. Smoking crack and iving coke. Thank u for letting me know that I'm not alone. From England 🇬🇧
And horrible anxiety afterwards. Also nightmares of what you’ve done while high
So glad your clean .
Just stumbled across yea 2day.and loving your videos
Thank you Carly. I appreciate that so much!!!!
Darn, your driving it home! I’m going to share on my Twitter! God bless you!

You are giving something great back here cheers man
Thanks Philip I appreciate that man!!
Holy shit, great video! The CustomGrow420 intro made me laugh so much, lmfao.
Man I never seen hats bent as much as yours, lol great videos from one RUclipsr to another!
Hey kyle...its Irish Debb!! I heard crack is a rich mans drug? Is it true hun...also the high do sent last long?? Xto be honest it doesn't sound like fun kyle??...NO DRUGS ARE FUN ..I KNOW...BUT I COULNDT DEAL WITH THAT KIND OF COME DOWN....MAN U DESERVE A MEDAL FOR ALL YOU DO AND HAVE DONE....🥰🥰🥰
thank you so much deb the way its always said ion the US is coke is rich mans drug and crack is poor mans coke then now they say meth is poor mans speed or hillybilly speed in my opinion thats just some labels they gave in the 80's cause coke was mostly a white persons drug and crack was used by more black people so the media needed a way to spin it into races and classes but in reality white, black, orange green doesnt matter rich poor crack and coke are everywhere every class, race, everywhere
Crack is the best. My very 1st time my wife handed me the pipe and I instantly took it. Big hit. Lots of smoke. She new right then she had me.
Hey man I'm so glad to have come across this as you said something very important to me. The bit where u mentioned that bit about people saying dont talk to me while or after doing my hit. I thought this was only me. I used for about 7months not everyday but enough. I loved the bell ringers they were heavenly and so godlike. However there were times when I would take a hit and someone I'd be with would talk to me or say something and I'd feel myself getting high or coming up but then that person would distract me and like with a click of your fingers my high would go and I'd feel so annoyed and pissed off. In turn this would affect my heart rate and everything as I'd still have the crack in me but with no euphoria or anything. I feel this has never left me and my brain and life has not been normal I don't feel a part of reality man. Like I've lost my mind. Will my brain ever heal from this? Please will you get back to me thanks
Hey Vickram You are not alone brotha lots of others out there struggle with this and got those same feelings. In my opinion cocaine is one of the most psychologically addicting drugs ever We remember that bell ringer years after we took that last hit...."but always play the tape all the way through" When you think about using again remember all the pain and misery that follow the 2 minutes of pleasure....Also YES YOUR BRAIN WILL GET BETTER. Dr Halligan a board certified addiction psychologist says that after 90 days of sobriety they can see changes in cocaine addicts brains where its starting to repair itself and that it can takes up to 2 years. Everyday you stay clean you heal a little more. You got this brotha!!!!!
@@Soberdogs thank you so much for you reply. I have so many questions regarding the way I've been feeling which I believe is due to this period where I was abusing this drug. I feel my personality has changed, well everything has changed and feel like I've gone mad. Its like everyday I try my best to hide the fact I used this drug to people and I look in the mirror and don't recognise myself. I don't know if it's just my pshcological perception I have created when I think of a crackhead but I feel like I look like that. I don't know if u understand what I'm saying but basically I just have been feeling horrible inside. It's like I'm trying to disguise the fact I used to people. Do you know if crack can change people forever
@@vickramchuni4391 I know any drug can change people for long term but I really don't think this will last forever. I think you may need some help like with a professional addiction counselor or therapist to work through some of the issues your having. I totally get that One of the reasons I started Soberdogs was because i was hiding my past from everyone and It was killing me so I decided to open up to everyone. I'm not saying you need to do that but find your outlet. Find that thing you love (dogs, hiking, working out, church, whatever) and get involved I bet it will start to make you feel better and remember you are not your drug. Just because you used crack doesn't mean your always a crackhead no no no you are vickram and you need to love yourself and remember we all make mistakes keep pushing forward
very informative
Thanks Kal Appreciate that so much
This sound awful I am so glad you told me all about this.
Please dont try it it is 2 minutes of pleasure followed by hours of pain and misery
I've always struggled with alcoholism but I think it's safe to say I'm more then alcoholic now I've been bingeing on crack and it's making me really depressed and down on my self I'm going to get professional help in like a month tho
dawg! i wish good on you my friend!!!!
I appreciate it
Spot on explanation 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much Loco!!
I’ve only done powder maybe 4 times in my life & just hearing the description of the euphoria has my nervous system turning up. I don’t even remember the feeling, but it seems my brain still does.
Matthew isnt that insane damn damn damn that how powerful that shit is "Your brain remembers it" damn for real it does insane strong chemical reactions to just seeing and hearing things
@melonbobful wowowowow that is such a fire way to describe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was addicted to Klonopin for like 3-4 years of my life until i mixed it with a substances i wont say, and it all started to rapidly destroy my life, as well as all my relationships! Im glad i quit when i did because i couldnt do ANYTHING without Klonopin during those years i was on it. Thank god that i can now live without it! It’s hard to quit, but I now understand that sooner or later it had to stop! Btw, im glad you’re sober now!
God help my son 🙏🏽🙏🏽
O hope your son isnt using crack or cocaine? if he is I pray for you and him reach out to me privately if you would like to talk

Thanks for this informative video. My mother has been smoking crack for ten years and I've always just turned a blind eye to it because we've had a very strained relationship due to her drug addiction. I've never witnessed her doing the actual drug until a few weeks ago and it was like a punch to my gut. Is it possible for her to only be doing this drug casually? I hope she can get sober but how can you help someone who does not want to be helped...
Hey, Karen Sorry about your situation crack is an awful awful drug. In my opinion and experience, very very few people can casually smoke crack. I have met a few that only did it every once in a while but they all had another drink or drug they did daily. The thing that makes crack diff than like heroin is heroin we go into physical withdrawal and have awful flu-like symptoms if we don't have it. With crack, you don't get that but you get a mental detox. many people including myself have smoked crack daily for a month then ran out of money or whatever and stopped and the days after I was physically fine to go to work and stuff but was a mental mess I hope she is just doing it occasionally because then it will be easier for her to get sober. I wish you the best. Please reach out if you have any more questions or concerns
@@Soberdogs thank you for what u do. Your channel came up in my feeds randomly a few days after seeing my mother smoking crack. I binge watched all your videos and it gave me insight into why she does drugs and the highs and lows she goes through and understanding her bizzare behavior at times. Her and her boyfriend were using heroin and smoking crack for many years. They would get so desperate he would prostitute himself to get more money. He died and over dosed in front of my mother one night of partying and that still hasn't stopped her from doing drugs. In my 29 years of life, Her main addiction started with anorexia, to alcoholism, to prescription drugs and she eventually moved on to harder drugs. She's been kicked out of the only rehab center that was willing to help her for free because she tried to create a suicide pack... So many fucked up stories I could go on and on about....... With the quarntine going on in the world I decided to video chat her, and she literally picked up her pipe (the one they sell at corner stores with the rose in it as you describe it in ur other videos) and started smoking her crack in front of me via video chat and showed me how dirty her pipe was.... Ive never confronted her about her lifestyle or drug use in ten years or ever told any one about these issues, it's very emberassing. I'm almost 30 years old and her demons are still following me into my adult hood. Sorry for rambling, but I just wanna say you were given a second chance at life, I don't know you but I'm so proud of ur recovery and I know there is still a small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel for my mom too one day. Keep up the videos coming, you have a new supporter here from Vancouver bc ✌️
@@karenl3231 Thank you so much karen. Thats wild that she just smokes it in front of you there is more of a glimmer of hope for her it's up to her. If she wants to get sober she can. I know many people in their 50-60- and even 70's who got sober. The hardest part for you is watching all that over the years and seeing someone you love hurt themselves and not having any control over it. Please no matter what happens take care of yourself and don't blame yourself. many kids and parents blame themselves for a loved ones addiction. you are an
inspiration to everyone out there who has family in active addiction I always say parents and family of people in active addiction are angels for what they deal with and put up with.
This is literally me today. I saw my mother do it for the first time after knowing in the back of my head she has been doing it for 10+ years. I felt like a kid who found out Santa want real. I am a married 37 years old woman with 4 kids and that made me want to ball up and cry.
She probably just has binges. ❤️

Question, I’ve always wanted for ask an addict. Are you worried about being able to retire? I am 43 and have plenty saved and a house that’s paid for, but I constantly worry I won’t be able to retire comfortably. Do you ever think of that?
Thank you very much for this information man
I have a concern , one of my close friends has been using crack for some time now. I don't now exactly for how long but I can notice his teeth have been looking all messed up and some of his molars have fallen already. How would you approach a loved one to have the conversation about getting help with the situation?
regards,
The sad thing is no one will ever get help until they are ready and want it. With that being said I would plant seeds of how he doesn't have to live that way anymore. There are millions of people who have been in his shoes and have found recovery and it is so much better than addiction. See if he is receptive to treatment or going to AA/NA meetings. You can't force him but you can offer suggestions and be there when he is ready. When he is sick and tired of being sick and tired he will get help I pray that when that comes its not to late. Most addicts don't want to be addicts so they are open to a different way but I would not get mad at him or put him down just be there and be supportive but don't enable him. Hopefully that helps a little. Its so hard to watch someone you love destroy themselves Im praying for you and him!!!!
Nice video mate.
Thanks Where do you live mike what country?
does cocaine have same effect... in terms of the depressing comedown?
Yea but less intense The crack high is quicker stronger and faster and the comdown comes quicker and faster, cocaine has the same effects but everything takes a little longer and less intense. So with crack it's almost instant high...high for 2-5 minutes, then after 10 minutes you get a 20 minutes awful comedown, with coke it's your snort it takes 3-4 minutes to kick in and then your high for 20 min then a 30 min less intense but still horrible comedown.
Sober Dogs great info, crack is clearly a lot worse than coke. I remember doing coke and I wanted more so bad but smoking weed makes it ok. Not sure if crack is the same. Also 2-5 minute high is literally nothing
@@pillsberrydopeboy851 yea its crazy but they both have an effect crack just hits so much harder so much quicker thank you brotha!!!!

Ill try and watch this. I hate crack.
Crack cocaine! This friend named Joe Dukes told me his mother [is/]was a crack addict. I've seen at least one person, living in my highrise many years ago, smoking it. It's this white powdery ball that he put into a short glass pipe. I was never addicted to street drugs, thank god, but I was addicted to internet chatrooms from 1999 to 2019. I can relate to the extreme highs and extreme lows afterwards, from being addicted to getting other people's attention online. Addiction doesn't have to be just a substance. It can be an activity too, like the internet, like using computers.
Wow Harry that’s fascinating. Can you explain a little
More. I’ve never heard addicted to chat room. I’ve heard about addicted to phones and technology. But that’s unique. Glad ur doing better now. And ur so right doesn’t have to be just substances
@@Soberdogs I'm a sex addict also, which is related (another drug). There's something pleasurable about receiving a lot of [positive] attention from other people, and seeing that these people respond to you as if they're responding to everything you say or do. It's like feeling loved by everybody. Everything you touch turns to gold and nothing you do can be wrong. I thought to myself, maybe this is what POWER [or maybe some kind of profound CONNECTION] feels like, maybe this is the high that actors talk about when they say acting [on stage or in front a camera] is like some kind of orgasmic experience. This is why comedians do what they do. This is why troublemakers in school do what they do. They all want other people's ATTENTION. In the case of the school troublemaker, that person is attracting both positive and NEGATIVE attention. Michael Jackson said he loved being on stage, but his off-stage life was not so ecstatic.
Ken Wheeler (Theoria Apophasis) wrote "The fool desires, whereas the wise man rejects". Can detachment [to all things and others] coexist simultaneously with compassion? A drug addict asked me once, "What are you addicted to?"
Your vids are good man
thanks Ryan I appreciate that brotha!!!
watched two people OD back in the day before cell phones. one girl had to walk 5-6 blocks to a pay phone when she flopped on the sidewalk, other one was my buddy showed up out the blue, and collapse bout a min after I open the door from him knocking.. Had no idea wtf until after the ambulance got him..
Damn brotha that sucks. I hope they are both alright. That must of been so hard cause it would take so long for people to get help and im sure Narcan was no where to be found except in hospitals.
thats a wicked awesome curve in the hat! as a canadian, I approve
hahahhaha
Very dangerous lifestyle. Stay clean no matter what
I don’t agree I think that’s only true for some people that they will do anything to get out of it. Very rarely would I be down that badly and usually took a few hours
Nice disclaimer
I need help the symptoms sound right but you didn’t say anything about heart rate going up and almost cardiac arrest death .. what did they lace my weed with it almost killed me ?
Thats crazy. yea it def makes your heartrate go through the roof. Some dealers think they can get people hooked on their weed by doing that
I was on crack and heroin for a lot of years but one thing I vowed never to touch was meth and I never did. I like the video and I like the way you are telling the good and bad. You really do become a slave slave to it and its very hard to stay away from as its psychological, someone mentioned it or you think about it and that's it you have to have it until you get clean and with the right counselling
So So tru yes there is a great feeling when using drugs for a few minutes thats why we always go back but as addicts I think we tend to remember the good and forgot the bad you said it perfect we become a slaveeee I needed to get high 5-6 times a day everyday or I couldnt do anything
@@Soberdogs yes that's so true! We forget all the crap like having no money and screaming for more. We only remember sitting getting high. I wonder if we remembered the bad shit, would we keep going back?
@@lynnjohnston970 IDK great question I think yea we would cause the chemicals are so damn strong
Another thing I was just looking up is how the human brain is designed to kinda suppress negative and painful feelings so we remember the good way easier than the bad. This is like a survival mechanism to not be in a constant state of panic and negativity.
@@Soberdogs yeah I've heard that too. I think it was from a friend who was getting hypnosis for addiction to crack and heroin, the woman told her that we only remember the good bits and not the bad which is why we go back until we are ready to stop x
I locked my self in a dingy apartment with a friend and we smoked a 8 ball and I remember just staring out of the window for HOURS smoking cigarettes and couldn't speak or move because I smoked by self into a stuck coma. 🙃
yup exactly Vic hopefully that was the only time you did it.
Outstanding to help others. Maybe not so much eye brow pruning.
hahahahaha dude so many people say that to me i dont do shit to my brows lol they grow exactly how they look I trim the middle where the unibrow would be that's it lol hahahah thanks for the support
I hate this 20 years off it mate think I’m getting psychosis wish I’d seen this before well done or been clean xxx
Truth
thanks ACe
I never got the bugs sensation, but I’ve heard about it , I would start to hear whispering voices , and servers paranoia witch doesn’t sound pleasant but in the act it was almost what you wanted, lol weird stuff not good at all
The ones created this knew the reaction on the brain
what u mean buddy? the people who made crack?
Thanks for info always wondered . I think ill oass though 😐😓
please pass lol its 2 minutes of pleasure and hours of pain
@@Soberdogs thanks man , i so nearly did it once i had the pipe to my mouth but one person in the room said(a crackhead)said 'if you never did it you not miss it' very fukin wise words that i wisely heard!
@@terrencekelly1256 those r wise wise words glad he was a good person to tell you that I know many addicts that are so miserable they want others to be dragged down with them The first time I was gonna shoot up everyone in the car said-- dont do it dont use a needle man-- I argued and did it anyway but they were so right I wish I listened
@@terrencekelly1256 close call so so glad u didn't!!! and please don't in the future lol
@@Soberdogs thanks man ill just stick to weed 😃
I can see on your expression how much addictive it is, it's like the body is starving for something so toxic.
OMG exactly its the ultimate LOVE HATE relationship we know how bad it is and how we will feel lower than we ever felt yet we keep using it for that 2 min high
I won't say that it isn't addictive to others, but in my experience, I mever had a problem with it. When I was playing at least 2 shows a week, cocaine was around me almost all the time and given to me freely a lot of the time. It definitely doesn't seem to have the extreme physical symptoms of coming of opiates, but then again I'm by no means an expert at all and I could be completely wrong, I'm only speaking about my personal experience with it, having done it so many times for an extended period of time.
So schizinit let me ask you was it cocaine or crack? in my experience there is a huge huge difference I also did cocaine occasionally for years but once it escalated to crack it was a whole new ball game. I totally agree with you that the withdrawal is not like opiates but to me the mental withdrawal of crack and uppers is worse that opiates and downers.
He never said anything about we're the sound of the train comes from
It cant help if a crack head has bed bugs it roaches ! Ha~ I can imagine.. I'm strait opioid person, I'm too high strung for uppers.. when i was young and still experimenting I shot crack a few times with my ex, I'd feel great for about 2 minutes, then want more, then have a crazy panic attack till I got an opioid.. since I'm not a great fan of panic attacks, I never touch the stuff! Not even tempted .. the last time I was on a stimulants bender, we were shooting ritalin, I hadnt slept in a week and my band had a show that night where I knew wed be drinking.. I had a terrible night, my boyfriend flushed his phone down the toilet.. I vowed I'd never touch a stimulant again and I never did! I wish I felt that way about the opioids
Crack is whack. You do a hit and the funniest shit in the world could happen right in front of you and you would have no reaction.
Ellena thats very tru. Getting stuck I call it, it blinds most emotions
Smoked lots of crack, like all drugs it was fun at first but ruins the body and mind
facts man crack is awful fucking crazy not worth the bullshit comedown
Quick question. What if I quit for 1 year and half then relapsed while drunk. Will I get cravings?? 🤔🤔I regret doing it again, just did it because I was with some "friends" that were using meth. I hate meth, but the idea of Crack crossed my mind.
I'm not sure. The good part is you did it once and then stopped so you didn't give your body time to get hooked again. It might bring back a few cravings but they should be weaker and go away quicker than when you were using daily.
@@Soberdogs That is so true. Maybe it's just the Devil trying to play tricks on my mind. I've been praying with all my heart for God to take any taste or "good memories" from my mind and to remind me of all the NEGATIVE that comes from crack. Thank you for your comment.
I like the custom 420 call out
Hahahaha
It affects different people differently. My roommate would smoke and she’d be cool calm collected and sometimes even fell asleep!! Me??? I shake, uncontrollably, cannot walk straight or up and down stairs, my muscles just contract like I took a bunch of Gabas.. then I start cleaning. I can’t sit still and there’s always something to clean!! Hahahha I started seeing shadow people at the end when I was up for 4 days on crack 😹 cuz I didn’t have any heroin and I needed a high! Oh! And don’t talk to me cuz I can’t get a word out anyway and my bedroom window better have a blanket over it! Haha
Nailed it lol ... I use to smoke when I was younger like 19-23 I never use to trip like alot of people but oh boy did I want to rip thru a 8ball in a couple hours.... stupid times man I can say I don't miss them but I can't say I didn't have fun. IF YOU HAVENT TRIED IT AND ARE CURIOUS....DONT DO IT! IT CAN TAKE CONTROL OF YOU I KNOW ALOT OF PPL WHO ARE HOOKED AND BEEN SMOKING 15 PLUS YEARS AND THEY R FUCKED 💯
Speak that truth. Jay. Of course there was some fun times yes your right but in the end it was terrible like u said. Just over and over and over wanting more and more and more and more. Thanks for the support
Never gad issues with bugs. But goddamn if the shadow people didnt have me and my friends peeking out the blinds for hours
Sounds like in a metal tunnel. If interested in audio technicalities, the it's the same sound as a 'comb filter'. Not sure about feel good, more like instant paranoia. I also suffer from severe depression although used to it after 30 odd years. You wouldn't believe that my 'normal' is the same as the average persons 'crack comedown' - at least I can't get a debilitating comedown.
yea yea very tru and damn man that sucks i know depression but not on a constant level like that sorry to hear that. You take meds or have anything that helps with that?
@@Soberdogs Yeah, been on anti-depresants for about the same length of time. Can't function properly without them. I only know the level as I tried the stuff you talk about. While everyone is left in a wrecked state afterwards I just slowly return to 'normal', keeping the same state of mind I had before consuming - I did try leaving off them for a few weeks and see if any difference (as apparently the combination can be dangerous) but no difference. I can either have the anti-d's or the other, the overall effect is the same (other than the cost, and effect not lasting quite as long - up to several days, surprisingly; although the short term effect is obviously quite different)
@@threeMetreJim wow yea thats tough but so tru i take ssri's to and they have helped me so much so so much some people they help others they barley do anything for
And during the next days of abstinence (So I overcame the abstinence period next of the crack sesions) i don't do it again, i feel rare the next days, next weeks?
what do you mean you feel rare Gonzalo???
@@Soberdogs
One day you use crack and the other days you feel the need to use it again?
@@owyperu ooo I c I think that definitely is real People will use it and then days or even weeks later have compulsions to use again. To me, that's untreated addiction. The obsession will always be there unless it gets treated.
I didn't hear anyone explain the physical sensations of being high on crack. I would like to hear that explained please.
Physical sensations o great idea Sherie ok awesome thanks for the idea
@@Soberdogs you are welcome. My husband is a crack addict and I have often wondered what exactly does he feel when he uses it. Thank you so much.
Can crack be shotgunned ? Like weed ? I’ve been trying that . Can’t tell
what do you mean shotgunned? and please just stick with weed don't try crack please!!!
Yes you can shotgun
Thank you so much. Yahuah baruk you & yours in abundance.
Same to you! Thank You
I tried crack once, but didn't like it. It gave me a lot anxiety and I didn't like that racing heart feeling. My body also felt like it was going into fight or flight mode.
Im so glad you didn't like it Matthew. My first time I didn't like it either yet i tried it again and got hooked. I bet your body was going into fight or flight mode for sure. It releases an enormous amount of dopamine that are bodies have never felt before.
how do you get rid of the itching ?
in my experience first you got to stop using drugs let them get out of the system, second is see if they are real (lice, scabies, ect) or not, third it takes time to rewire your brain to not think bugs are everywhere, I haven't smoked crack in years and I still have an iossue when i get cat or dog hair on me thinking its bugs.
Do you get addicted to crack the first time you use it
You def can but not always. My first time I threw up and got no effect yet years later I tried again and then got hooked i think it varies person to person
Yes. I did.
