Did the cia invent crack? I was under the impression the cia was just selling huge amounts of cocaine to the inner cities and it was the ingenuity of the drug dealers that invented it
I would believe either. But the fact is the CIA dumped loads of illegal substances on poor communities and may it may not have dropped a recipe or two along the way because someone in power may have wanted a reason to start a war on poor people of color.
I was under the impression that crack was a cheap mrans of freebase. 70s were powder, but also mostly “diet pills” (if you’re lucky it was amphetamines or methylphenidate, everything else was even harder on your body)
Pretty sure it was all crack back then.
Didn’t the CIA invent crack in the 80s?

That’s what I heard, at least.
70s: Freebase 80s: Crack

Yup, freebase walked in the 70s before crack could shutter shamble with a reduced fare card.
