Want Some Crack?




I bring this up in a sort of response to the Hasidic Plumber's post about meth heads. While yes, meth heads are cool because they look like Mr. Buscemi, they still have nothing on the original fiends: crackheads. The Plumber makes the point that "You can make em do all sorts of funny stuff for very little cash, which makes them a great source of entertainment." and that "Meth heads are sneaky and highly motivated."

I don't doubt this at all. In fact, I've seen these facts to be true. However, I'm going to argue that crackheads are even more highly motivated, and don't waste their time doing petty things for cash. Instead, we see innovation in places such as Miami, where crackheads are starting their own, crackhead exclusive economies to fuel their habits. I've heard of meth heads stealing copper and taking it to the recycling facilities to get their money...but crackheads are saying fuck the middle man, why do more work than we need to? Going to the recycler's is wasting my smoking time, let the dealer do it (and probably get a better deal)!
