During that time cocaine was very plentiful and cheap, and considered by most a harmless party drug. The evil genius that came up with crack saw an opportunity to provide a product that was cheaper, more concentrated and much more addictive by design than powder Cocaine. The first users were generally poor people of color in large urban areas like NYC and Miami. Hope that helps.
