People who smoke crack cocaine are described as chaotic and more likely to engage in risky sex, polysubstance use and contract infectious diseases.
However, little is known about how individuals perceive smoking crack as compared to other forms of cocaine use, especially injection.
We explored the lived experience of people who smoke crack cocaine.
Six gender-specific focus groups (n=31) of individuals who currently smoke crack in Vancouver, Canada, were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide.
Focus groups were transcribed and analyzed by constant comparative methodology.
We applied Rhodes’ risk environment to the phenomenological understanding that individuals have regarding how crack has affected their lives.
Subjects reported that smoking rather than injecting cocaine allows them to begin “controlling chaos” in their lives.
Controlling chaos was self-defined using nontraditional measures such as the ability to maintain day-to-day commitments and housing stability.
The phenomenological lens of smoking crack instead of injecting cocaine “to control chaos” contributes a novel perspective to our understanding of the crack-smoking population.
This study examines narratives which add to prior reports of the association of crack smoking and increased chaos and suggests that, for some, inhaled crack may represent efforts towards self-directed harm reduction.
