Best quote "If you haven't started doing crack, keep that up."
Hey! Pharmacologist here, interesting podcast! Just wanted to clarify something for you guys about that part about how you can "super die" from being addicted to crack even if you developel a high tolerance. Tolerance to a drug has been linked to environment. Meaning if you go to a certain place to get high all the time, or use a certain delivery method, your body will auto-regulate your dopamine/receptors in anticipation of the drug (you will have increased tolerance before you even take it). BUT if you go and do the same high dosage you're used to in a new environment, you body won't take those tolerance measures before hand, and so that high doseage you always take can actually cause you to overdose, even though it's the same dose you always take.
