Rantings Of A Mad Rodent

I was talking to a friend of mine, and she said that her brother in law is now strung out on crack after trying it last year. Really?! Who in the hell becomes a crackhead in 2008? This shit has been around since the 80's, and we've all seen what it does to people. How in the hell do you become a crackhead or addicted to heroin in this day and age? What kind of person sees a toothless emaciated person offering sexual favors to buy crack, and says to himself, "That's the life for me. That's a good look."? Un freaking believable! If you became a crackhead in the 80's, although stupid, it was kind of understood. Noone knew the power of that shit. But now? C'mon dawg! To become a crackhead now, after everything we've seen it do to people, who does that?
