The thing is that these words are not even from prohibitionists. Crack is called crack because when you cook it up from baking soda / cocaine it makes a cracking sound when heated. Where is the propaganda in that? Skin sores can really be caused from using meth and other drugs like amphetamine and mephedrone. What do you think we should call them? Skin sores existed before drugs were even illegal. Skin sores existed before homo sapiens existed. It has no real association with drug use unless the sores are from drug use or from behavior engaged in during drug use. How is crystal meth a propaganda term? Meth is a crystal substance. What about crystal mephedrone, should we just call it mephedrone even if it is powdery? How does ice even have negative connotations at all? I support the idea of combating propaganda but not living in denial. It is denialism to think that we shouldn't use the word skin sore to refer to skin sores caused from drug use. Use of some drugs can contribute to skin sores, use of amphetamine can contribute to oral decay, use of meth by pregnant women can lead to serious health consequences for their children. Crack is a slang term from the sound of freebasing coke with baking soda, crack whores whore themselves for crack. If you want to combat propaganda why not go tell people the truth about drugs. The truth is that LSD doesn't cause chromosome damage. The truth is that smoking marijuana doesn't make you impotent. There is so much real propaganda out there that there are tons of things that you can discredit from the prohibitionists, there are tons of excellent points you can make for drug legalization; the truth is on our side and their entire foundation is made up of lies lies and more lies. Why don't you photoshop some images that list facts about marijuana with scientific citations linked from them, and a list of lies the government has said about marijuana with links to citations, and try to make it humorous so that it catches on and spreads around the internet as a meme ? Why not make your own counter propaganda and try to get it to go viral? That will be infinitely more effective than pretending that coke doesn't make a cracking sound when it is made into 'slightly freebased cocaine, formed via a mixture of baking soda water and cocaine, with the mixture heated until the water evaporates' (is this what you suggest we call crack now?).
