Q.
What are the differences between Crack, Alcohol, Co**in, Ma*****na, Ci******es, Kush,Hashish,etc--
A.
Dr lucciano:out of many drugs, Crack is the most dangerous and is a byproduct of Co**in, it kills human in short time and has a lot of damage for brain cells and body tissues. It is easy to treat patients of Co**in to recover and not so for Crack, Crack is that drug which is very easy to be addicted and unrecoverable after six months to one year use.
