I have lived in crack neighborhoods. Most of the problems were do the =
fact that crack users could not afford their habit. If cocaine were =
legal it would be dirt cheap and not provoke the robbery, gang warfare, =
slavery, kidnapping, forced prostitution, crack houses, destruction of =
neighborhoods, etc. that it does now. [By the way, it is the brutal =
police raids on "crack houses" that destroys most of the property!]
People who use too much and go "raving paranoid" would be primarily a =
danger only to themselves and those who choose to associate with them. =
Excessive cocaine use via crack or otherwise would soon result in death =
or reform if the substance was cheap. Because it is so expensive the =
the habit lasts for many years of excalating crime, pushing, etc..
