Bilmore's addictiveness/dollar point is a good one, except that it suggests that the blow that, say, Donald Trump is buying is really lousy stuff, when in fact he's just in a different market segment.

It can't be cheaper to make because the main ingredient is the same, plus you have to factor in the cost of labor to manufacture.
I believe crack is cheaper because you can purchase a smaller quantity. A rock is easier to market than trying to weigh and fold thousands of little packets of blow.
