Yeah it's basically the same as freebasing coke. I get that it's definitely more dangerous because it does hit you harder and it does make you want more almost instantly, but generally speaking it's the same as doing straight coke.
I'm not proud of my former drug usages but it did open my eyes and mind to a lot of realities in this world most people ignore. It's so easy for even the most moral and upright of people to turn into complete pieces of shit because of drug addiction. I've done it all. Gone to jail, gone to rehab, got the T-shirt AND the N/A coin
I made a lot of bad decisions in my life, but I wouldn't change it for the world. The rough path I chose turned me into the man I am today and I'm proud of who I am today. My experiences have allowed me to understand others who struggle with these things and help understand them and how to help them. I've gained an almost unreal level of patience in life in general. It takes a LOT to get me pissed off or worked up. I was quite the firecracker in my late teens and early 20's so if I didn't learn that patience I was going to end up in prison from killing someone or dead.
