Sometimes when I log on and I read posts from the previous day I wonder what the hell people are freebasing! Does that ever happen to you?
Freebasing refers to the process of freeing the active ingredients of a drug from its adulterants with which, in the slang term, it has been "cut". Adulterants are various substances which are mixed into drugs as fillers by dealers, thus increasing the amount that they can sell. Drugs smoked in their freebase form are generally more powerful, and act more rapidly, than their salts. This can make freebase drugs even more powerfully addictive.
^ True that....& I haven't freebased since 1987.... Ya know, crack was still new in our neighborhood then.
