By the 1980s, there was an epidemic of crack use in these communities.Īs a result, there is a public perception that cocaine is associated with more affluent drug users, whereas crack use is associated with those in lower income brackets and minorities.
This brought crack use to low-income and minority communities. These people had less disposable income available to spend on drugs, but they were seeking options to get high. As a less expensive alternative, it became more accessible to those in the lower socioeconomic demographic.
Crack was developed was as a cheaper alternative to cocaine, making it more easily affordable to users. Cocaine is expensive to buy on the streets.
