People refer to the cr@Ck epidemic in the 80s

But no one really talks about it… like no one really talks about what it was what it meant for society

I was reading a little bit about it, and evidently kids were stepping over collapsed people in the roads to get to school 😳

I was growing up in iowa during my adolescent years during most of the 80's, we really didn't have the issues of it in most of the state outside the big cities like Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo/Cedar Falls, and Council Bluffs, a technical suburb of Omaha, Nebraska. However I have seen the ravages of crack addiction with my bff in Denver, Colorado, I met her when we both worked in an iowa McDonald's together, but circumstances forced her to move back to Denver where she grew up. When I met her in early 2015 she was a very healthy 35 year old woman, now she looks almost 80, and is very emaciated and skeletal from the drug,
