Safer Crack Use

What is Crack?
The harm reduction information that follows is offered as a public health service. Its purpose is not to encourage or condone the use or possession of illegal drugs. It is to help people make safer choices in their use of drugs that will reduce their chance of overdosing and them getting Hepatitis B & C and HIV.

Crack is one of the most commonly used drugs in NC
According to the DEA, there are around 171,000 Crack Users in North Carolina. Crack is the street name for a crystallized form of cocaine made into small lumps or rocks. Cocaine hydrochloride is processed with ammonia or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water and heated to remove the hydrochloride, thus producing a free base form of cocaine that can be smoked. The term crack refers to the crackling sound heard when the mixture is smoked.

Why should I smoke safer?
Smoking crack can lead to open sores, burns or cuts on the lips, which can transfer blood to a crack pipe. If the pipe is shared, even a speck of infected blood can transmit hepatitis C. People who smoke crack, like everyone else like to have sex. When you smoke crack it often decreases your inhibitions, and deceases condom negotiation skills, which can increase exposure to HIV, STIs and Hepatitis. Thus if you are going to use, we recommend women, men who have sex with men and people of transgender experience pre-insert a female/ reality condom into their vagina or anus (or both) and that men carry condoms with them when they use. HIV, hepatitis and STIs are not worth it. NCHRC provides both these condoms for free.

Why should non-crack smokers care?
If a crack smoker gets HIV, it will cost NC $660,000 in long term medical costs and if they get hepatitis C it costs the state between $100,000 to $600,000 in long term medical costs. These costs are preventable by having crack users use more safely and teaching them to have safer sex.

What is in a safer smoking kit?
NCHRC promotes crack users smoke safer if they are going to smoke. They should use the following to prevent the acquisition of HIV and hepatitis

Mouthpiece: This is the most important thing in the kit. A cut sparkplug fits nicely onto a stem. Using this prevents you from getting cut, burnt and infected lips and HCV exposures.

Rubber Bands: Wrap these around the end of the stem to prevent lip burns (be aware that with hear these occasionally melt and snap).

Triple Antibiotic Ointment: First Aid for sores. Do not use for burns.

Alcohol Wipes: Use these to clean mouthpieces and pipes, especially if you a are sharing equipment.

Antiseptic Towelettes: Use these to clean off our hands (and your John if you are doing sex work).

Chore Boy/Brio: Use this as a filter in the stem. After repeated heating choy becomes hot and brittle and can be sucked into your throat. This provides an opportunity for you to be exposed to diseases, especially during unprotected oral sex. Change out your choy often.

Screen: 1 inch screens are used as a filer in the stem. These are better than choy since they last longer.

Vitamin C & E: Vitamin C helps lessen fatigue and crashing. Vitamin E will help cuts, sores and burns heal.

Condoms (lubed and unlubed): Use lubed condoms for vaginal and anal sex, use unlubed for oral sex.

I don't see " crack pipes " listed in the kit.
You ain't black.

  • The 120-day pilot program will begin in Houston and Baltimore, where 100 to 200 single adults placed under part-time house arrest in each location
  • The so-called 'home curfew' pilot would cost just $6-8 per day, far less than the $142 daily cost of immigration detention
  • A nationwide program of up to 400,000 is expected to roll out later this year

You think he said what he is credited for saying about the 100 year vote?
It is on the record

Republicans urge Biden to take cognitive test, say his 'mental decline' has 'become more apparent'

Nearly 40 Republican lawmakers are calling on President Biden, 79, to take a cognitive test, following the example set by his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.

The Republican push for Biden to undergo cognitive testing comes as recent polls have shown Americans are unsure of the president's mental fitness for office.

"As a former physician to three Presidents of the United States, I know what it takes mentally and physically to execute the duties of Commander-in-Chief and Head of State," Jackson continued. "Joe Biden has continually proven to me and to the world that something isn’t right. The American people deserve to have absolute confidence in their President’s cognitive ability."

Jackson said Biden’s taking "the cognitive test will be an important first step" in reassuring Americans that the president is fit for office or "in identifying and properly treating symptoms of impairment that are consistent with a variety of cognitive diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis."

"This is not a partisan issue. When I discussed taking a cognitive test with President Trump, he was eager to assure the American people and to put the fake news media’s stories to bed," the former presidential doctor wrote. "Why won’t President Biden do the same?"

"We can only assume the worst if he doesn’t submit to the same standard that his own party demanded of the last Administration," he added. "The precedent has been set."

In the letter, the lawmakers wrote that they "believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all Presidents should follow the example set by former President Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities."

Can you imagine the hypocrisy when the, Democrat concocted, cognitive test is comprised of fogging a mirror and walking while chewing gum?
Stick a fork in this guy and his jillin wife too.
