many people graduate beyond the use of cocaine to crack
Cocaine is a gateway drug to crack?
According to this NSDUH study (http://www.oas.samhsa.gov/NSDUH/2k9NSDUH/2k9Results.htm http://www.oas.samhsa.gov/NSDUH/2k9NSDUH/2k9Results.htm):
In, 2009, there were 617,000 people, aged 12 years or older, who used cocaine for the first time. During that same period, 94,000 tried crack for the first time.
If many people 'graduate' beyond the use of cocaine, I would expect I larger number of first-time crack smokers.
- revdinosaur 16y agoTrue, I simply based this off of the addicts that I have known. It is totally anecdotal, but from the time I spent with them the consensus was that powdered coke was no longer desirable to snort after long periods of time and so they would move onto smoking it. It wasn't very long before many of them switched directly to crack. I suppose if I ran in different circles I would have seen people switch to injecting instead.
