Good point, also bear in mind i am speaking of my own experience of 20 years in UK and Spain and Gibraltar, i have never even met a person who smokes crack but i know plenty that do excessive coke and speed. I think crack must be more available in the states, as in easier to get than over here? It's hard to explain but i know someone still who does a lot of drugs (keep prodding him gently to get help?!) and coke, powder, is totally acceptable but if i said hows about crack i would be told to get lost in no uncertain terms like asking if an alchie vodka drinker (generalising here bigtime i know) if he had tried meths, i would expect a punch in the mouth over here:-)
