Hi TC - I can CERTAINLY relate the this:
> It just blows me away everytime I think of this particular person - my little brother - smoking crack! It just sounds insane, like a bad joke. You know how people say, "What are you crazy? You must be smoking crack!" As Jay said, crack is looked upon differently than cocaine, even though its basically the same thing. So I guess I'm guilty of that prejudice as well. I just always think of homeless people smoking crack. But I guess a drug is a drug. Its just scary to know that if he ever gets caught he will be treated much more roughly than if he was doing something else.
*********It's the same for me with my son. When I heard he was smoking crack, I simply couldn't believe it.
