Why does it just full on teach basically how to make crack[edit]

For some reason it basically just full on shows/ almost shows us how to make crack cocaine. Is this not a crime its many places? i'm just so genuinely confused 24.157.86.62 (talk) 01:15, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald Reagan[edit]

why is there no mention of Ronald Reagan at all in this article? 2600:4040:7CD4:AE00:2FA2:CC88:3BE:A31B (talk) 07:49, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We mention the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which the President signed (and enjoyed overwhelming support from both houses of Congress). Not sure what is needed beyond that.Rja13ww33 (talk) 17:05, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Rja13ww33: I infer from the IP's comment in Talk:Iran–Contra affair that they believe the disproven notion that the Reagan administration was involved in trafficking cocaine to raise money for the Contras. -Location (talk) 19:22, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Another one of those. Thanks for the heads up.Rja13ww33 (talk) 19:27, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

Is it possible to get a history of crack? Like when it was invented, when it spread. Your Glutes (talk) 04:27, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've been thinking about adding that myself. And recently I got a new RS on the subject. May add soon.Rja13ww33 (talk) 18:09, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I was looking at another topic that mentioned crack being sold, and it happened before I thought it was available in the US, and this page taught me more about making it then the history.

Even the page about the CIA involvement didn’t have anything. Your Glutes (talk) 01:03, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't forgotten about this.....I think I will add something....but I am trying to decide how to word it. The RS I referred to above makes it into quite a convoluted story that is difficult to condense. Rja13ww33 (talk) 17:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive synonyms[edit]

Doesn't seem like it's in the scope or proper style of the article to list fifty synonyms for crack, or the names and synonyms of multi-drug combinations with no explanation of their effects. That seems like more of a Wiktionary thing to me at least. RookWeaver (talk) 12:38, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
