I'm not qualified to advise anyone on how they'll react to a substance, but I find the stats for cocaine addiction interesting. Perhaps the stats include crack cocaine, which is meant to be highly addictive and is something I'll never try, but I don't know what the big fuss is about cocaine. I've tried it a few times, it makes you feel more confident but otherwise isn't much of a 'trip'. Perhaps people become dependent on that artificial confidence.

Did you have good cocaine? Good cocaine smells noticeably and has a shimmering, "scaly" appearance like below.

Smoking crack feels essentially the same as cocaine, only the level of stigma is different.

It wasn't sold as a solid rock, it was in powder form, so it didn't look like the picture you showed, and it's hard to judge the purity of a powder, and I don't know how to describe the smell, but let's just say I got it from a dealer that was recommended by someone who had been addicted to cocaine and was still a customer.
