Why is meth use more prominent in the Caucasian community? http://aboutcrystalmeth.com/?post_type=post&p=2946 Question by Unknown One: Why is meth use more prominent in the Caucasian community?
I am a recovering addict so I think up questions like this quite a bit. My experience has shown me that meths addicts are mostly Caucasian (or non black) while crack usage is higher among black people. Why? It cannot be a matter of economics because crack is actually more expensive to use. I also do not want to buy into the theory that the effects on each races' bodies and/or brains are different. I figure that the answer must lie in the social area (somewhere)! I welcome everyone's thoughts and opinions.
Thank you, Infinite Integral...
Best answer:
Answer by Infinite Integral It may have to do with the way it is made. Caucasian use of meth tends to be rural, while crack use is highly urban. Urban centers have more distribution networks for the necessary ingredients for crack. At the end of the day, it could also be cultural preference: basketball v. football type deal.
Good work on your recovery!

A Day In The Death Of Donny B. / Anti-Drug Docudrama / Music Video Enhanced
- A Day In The Death Of Donny B. (1969). Sponsor: US Department of Education, Health & Welfare; Director: Carl Fick; Producer: Louis Mucciolo; Production Company: Audio Productions. Public domain video. Heroin (Diacetylmorphine) Information: Heroin is the common name of a substance known by the chemical name, diacetylmorphine. Heroin is synthesized from morphine, and morphine is synthesized from opium produced by the plant known by the botanical name Papaver Somniferum (common name opium poppy). Rather than being a different drug, heroin is a method of preparing morphine so that it is absorbed more efficiently by the human body, when injected. If heroin is injected into a human, more morphine will reach the brain than it would if the same amount of morphine were injected. Injecting about 5mg of heroin will produce the same results as injecting 10mg of morphine. Heroin can also be snorted, smoked, or taken orally. However, these other routes of administration are not recommended. They are not as efficient and most of the drug is wasted. If you are not going to inject heroin, an equal amount of morphine will produce similar results. When it is not injected, the heroin is usually totally metabolized by the human body before it can affect the amount of morphine that reaches the brain. So the effects of heroin are nearly the same as an equivalent amount of morphine when snorted, smoked, or taken orally. The time it takes to feel the effects depends on the method of ...
