Science has shown that cocaine (much less concentrations such as the crack form) slams open neuroreceptors and then the next dose is naturally less effective, so it takes more and more to get that same effect, etc. etc. etc. We just aren't made for these drugs, at least some of us aren't.

And it's nice to see an article not influenced/neutered by financial interests. Look at all the money spent upon the system attempting to control drugs, whether that was its actual initial intent or not.
