SO you can take the ignorant METH out sells any thing and every thing from the early 90's on and is still out selling shit on the streets and these fools keep rapping about crack like its fucking 88 bullcrap down the road because it is all bullshit & not fact . i sold both & i can tell you meth was white mans drug till 2000.aint going to sit and here and argue about dope on any forum, but to say meth is a white man drug is some funny shit, what border you live by? a huge percentage of it comes from the one I live near by and a majority of all the drugsare shipped from here GLASS and Crystal aint no white thing that shit is someking the lives away of blacks and mexicans out here and has been for more than a decade, you can have that arguement with that balck/white shit, caliing people ignorant and lame, half that shit starts its way from mexCALi borders...you all just catch up later when its stepped on.. but you can have that rapping about crack like it can make you rich in raps is entertaining not real by any means because no one was has gotten rich off that alone in cali since the 80's and early 90's out here...still people are smoked out, but to seriously act like a nation of people are smoking crack like that, okay around your way but not out here homie, not by blacks or us mexicans...
