      using tubes Crackheads usually are more haggard/broke looking and more chill (unless they’re fiending then you’ll have a problem) tweakers are the ones bobbing and dancing to music we can’t hear and usually the more aggressive of the two. I’d rather deal with crackheads tbh, like I said, throw em a few bucks or some smokes and there’s a good chance they’ll bugger off.
