You would probably be surprised how many functional crack users there are out there. A lot of the sterotypes are created on TV and in movies. The idea that anyone who smokes crack automatically becomes a skinny little fiend is just a myth.

I have personally never touched the stuff (I'm scared I would be one of those rare cases that have cardiac arrest the first time), but I know a few people who do smoke crack on occasion. At least one was a lawyer and the other is a very successful business owner.
