We had some hot weather a couple of years ago that cracked a few paths and roads. Not really an epidemic though, just a hot spell.

But it'll get really hot later in the year - rivers will start to crack, tempers fray - that sort thing.

crack or freebase cocaine is becoming ever more rife in the UK. Keep your PC undel lock and key, or some little junky will smoke it.

we don't have to wait for drug fads anymore, the market for new and more powerfull drugs is enormous in the UK. people don't want to get 'high' anymore. they want to get 'fu**ed up'.

wree teh feed, that's what I say.

regards, (happy techno hippy guy) geecee3.

Michigan. Lots, of people do it....but hardly an epidemic. I would assume NYC would be much worse though

It is really bad here. I know 3 people on it personally and one is one of my brothers. There is almost nothing you can do to help them. They say only 5% of the people who get off crack ever stay off of it unless they find somthing else to take in its place.

Zing!

If you want to be in a crack-free country then come here... well, you can come as long as you don't bring any crack! Weed's a larger issue, and ecstacy is by far the worse, but even then, it's a lot better here than other places.

ecstacy is some dangerous s***, i heard you can be permanently in a daze, and hear colors and see sound and strange stuff like that.

@Exeat: Im guessing your talking about Australia. Always wanted to go there, seems cool. I dont think id want to live there though . But i would consider it and Europe to be the most like the US (like pretty much everyone else ). I was gonna say a comment about what those three continents have in common, but there might be someone here thats not from one of them, then theyd get offended, and itd start a debate, and on and on, so i wont .

All drugs are dangerous...and stupid, some more than others. I dont see why anyone would even try them. Its not worth it, whats the best that can happen to you? You feel good for 20 minutes? And the worst...death or worse. Its not worth it. Candy gives you a good burst of energy, its not illegal, and it doesnt do bad things to you (except for rot your teeth when you eat a ton all the time) . I dont understand why people would drop out of highschool. What do they think theyre gonna do with their life? Be a feared drug dealer? Work at McDonalds? Mow yards? I think that some people dont know how good life can be without drugs or without their current...not so healthy, environment (daily shootouts, always looking behind your back, robberies, knifings, etc.) If they could im sure they would stop after seeing how much better it is. O, well, hopefully one day they will *sigh*.

Video games…they can take you places unreachable, impossible, unfeasible. They put you in the book...they put you in the movie...they put you in a world, a world that before could only be imagined.
