Four months ago, I poured my heart out on a small online forum, a young man from India, barely 22, confessing to trying what I believed was crack cocaine for the very first time. I was in South Australia, chasing a dream that now feels like a cruel joke. That post, born of a fleeting moment of honesty, received more attention than I ever expected. But the truth, as it often does, eventually caught up, and it was far more terrifying than my initial, naive confession. It turns out, what I smoked that night wasn’t crack at all. That was just the street name my acquaintance used, a term perhaps meant to soften the blow or simply out of ignorance.
