Want me to make you a Rock Star Baby?

This is not a hub about me, as much as it is a critical hub for you. Information for our children. Weapons to hopefully educate them enough to not want to be any kind of Rock Star. Rock is the common and most widely used term for crack cocaine.

When it came impossible to feel,

due to the fact I had died,

and been incinerated,

I sometimes held my phone

making up some embedded code,

I could punch in,

like it was normal,

in the mirror'

I faced the void,

held my black balloon, either to hide from, or merge with that darkness,

I had to hit it

That was the first time I heard of crack cocaine. Offered to me by a dealer. 'want me to make you a rock star baby?' Parents especially need to read this Hub. Awareness is our only weapon to prevent our Kids trying a very addictive drug, crack cocaine. A pre-cooked form of what we knew in the 80's as freebasing.

I admittedly, more than once, have discussed my IV daily drug addiction for a few decades. Cocaine I was injecting daily but I had never even heard of crack cocaine until 15 years after administering powder cocaine in every possible way I knew of.

I will speaking a great deal, when I can remember, in street talk, drug talk, industry talk. This so you can take note of these 'buzz' words, as your children may think, for example' you have no idea what rock means and discuss it. There's a good indication to seek the flag.

Back to being a rock star, we must, we must teach our children what to look for to spot a dealer, the best we can. I know, I was one. I never sold to kids but I have nightmares thinking of how many adults I sold to, did sell to kids, and take responsibility for that.

'War on Drugs' is a smart bumper sticker some politician made to demonstrate the positive action to clean up our Country. It sure worked during the onset, but see, we're not blind and we're not dumb, now seeing the war on drugs is a huge money maker and fact is, the financial loss would be astronomical everywhere should the drugs not be making millions rich.

The first thing that is critical that you know, crack left the ghetto a long time ago. Misconceptions that crack is still cheap, smoked by the Black and Latino race, in low income areas only, is a very big myth.

The supply cannot fulfill the high demand of crack today. I refer to both low income and high income, famous people, athletes, teachers, doctors, kids, public transit drivers, and for some time, me.

The term crack head with severe negative meanings is widely used, if not solely used. Referring in proper terms to someone who does drugs.

This term comes from the fact crack addicts get very dirty, the oil and ash from the rock and pipes is black and gets everywhere. This combined with it's side effects. THERE ARE NO SOCIAL CRACK ADDICTS> Therefore a crack addict does not eat, no appetite, does not waste their time showering, usually has to smoke in tunnels, stairwells, crack houses, behind buildings, dirty gas station bathrooms, places to hide from cops and still have the freedom to smoke as long as their supply lasts.

Crack addicts, that I have witnessed, and lived as one, have to deal with an extremely highly addictive drug. Most often from the first hit. It is so highly addictive from a mental obsession more than a physical need. A rock is smoked through a pipe, a very intense buzz lasts different lengths in different people. The first 20 seconds is the bomb. Then an instant craving for more sets in and intensifies by the minute. There is where the drug owns you and most people when they run out of money, will do anything to get more.

Coming down from the high is the most intense rock obsession for about 2 hours. It however, never leaves your mind of cravings.

I'd be lying to you if I said writing this hub isn't creating tremendous cravings for me. Years later the obsession sits, it waits, it snickers, it's smart, if I let it, win it will. But I am graced with tools and addicts in recovery that have become my antidote for these craving

Any drug is dangerous, when making [cooking] it at home, we increase the risks of damage greatly. Know some dangers such as increasing poisonous fumes, your dealing with fire, the temperature of the oil will scar your skin permanently, and while seemingly irrelevant, the most common risk is spillage wasting thousands of dollars and staining a platform, easily detectable by DEA.

One last notation, the dust from rock I have seen up close take pupils way from rubbing eyes, permanently burn the centre of lips from thousands of numbing tokes that also burn, then the obvious loss of teeth, hair, the reproductive system and severe emphysema.

Now, rock cocaine is exactly just that. Cocaine, cooked into a very hard rock.

The term or name crack actually originated from the crackling sound it makes when smoked, as the rock is heated, bubbling and melts into smoke.

I was a paid 'chef' [the name of a cook to crack'] It was a very expensive learning curve as I taught myself and experimented.

However I see no reason nor benefit to explain a recipe for crack. I'm sure you can respect why. It is cocaine with 2 activating elements found in every home and heated then shocked cold. That I tell you so you can see how easy it is to make. Most users however do not have the environment or elements on hand to do so or experience. It is also prefered to buy 'ready to use' as quick as possible.

If there are any questions or concerns for a loved one with drugs you can comment or email me anytime, please I know I went to the gates of hell so I could return to offer the addict still suffering something.

Here's where we can really help knowing what our children are being exposed to.

I am not going to go into the details of scoring dope. It serves no purpose or offers no help and is done in a multitude of ways. However scoring dope and being around other children doing crack or if your children are doing crack along with dealer 'lingo' I offer words here should you hear from your children or there friends that act as a huge flag, crack has or is around their life.

Your children, like we were as children, never think our parents are hip to the scene. We are old and don't get it. It's time to get it cause the war on drugs is this stage, these moments these tell tales.

So here are some buzz words that as far as I know if used by children are or have been exposed to crack;

• rock [crack]
• chop [cut some off]
• cook [make crack]
• pipe [for smoking]
• harden [cooking]
• rock star [dealers offer]
• piece [one rock]
• tight [good cook]
• score [buy]
• buzz [high effect]
• sample [to hook you]
• yellow stone [crack piece]
• paper [money]
• gram, ounce, [quantity]
• 20 30 40 50 piece [small quantities]
• point for point [dollar for ever .1 weight]
• scale [weighing purchase]
• uncle [dealer]
• friend [dealer]
• chopper [dealer]
• seller [dealer]
• rush [initial high]
• sweet [good dope]
• front [dope free owe money]
• screen [used in pipe]
• res [oil left in pipe]
• black rock [cocaine cooked with crack oil]
• bang [injecting]
• breaking down [thinning crack to injectable substance]
• flagging [blood choice injections]
• tie [arm strap to pop veins]
• track marks [scars from banging - injecting]
• crack house [dirty dangerous squatter filled smokers place]
• train spotting [injection marks]
• abscess [injected miss - infected cyst]
• paranoid [strong effect of crack]
• crack head [crack user]
• what are you saying? [how much?]

this is a good example of words I believe would be flags as most of these words really would not be common in a child's vocabulary normally. Learn these, know these just have these. May none of you ever hear anything of this.

I won't lie

Not easy.

Requires daily recovery and treatment. Your child, should s/he be addicted to crack will not get clean until they are ready or /smoked out/ sadly most cases like my own, not until everything and everyone is gone. Living in that kind of fear is not deserving of anyone, don't care who you are.

The good news recovery is possible, just not alone. Remember your child is not a bad kid trying to be good but rather a sick kid trying to get better.

I don't believe in tough love, rather a love of understanding and soft approach. Not suggesting to enable any child just the same.

Please email me if you need help on next steps or finding an affordable rehab. You are not bothering me, but if I can help you, it helps me.

Again the war on drugs can be won, but it has to be clipped at the stage of our beginnings

If you are reading this and using, stay safe, stay sharp, be smart, weigh the consequences and know you are not bad or alone. Reach out.

Thank you DarkDisOrder

Lyrics, another hub of learning and scolding to those who don't understand the true negative effects of this drug, though i lived around it, witness the use and may associated wit those who are users, so i could imagine first hand though never been a user myself, keep writing, teach those who still need to learn, yeah i still wanna be a rock star baby but nothin like that nontranslating jackass lil wayne, lol, no drugs just the respect and alittle fame.

Wherever your at, you must stay as safe as possible. Staying alive is the most important thing in life

I hold no pride in living as a 'crack head'

but hold tremendous empathy for the

addict that still suffers, and may this hub

reach even one, so they know there is

hope, and they are not alone.
