Cocaine research studies?

Are there any clinical trials that pay volunteers to actually use crack cocaine, and test the behavior of the volunteers, or the effects of the drug? Or studies where the volunteers are given crack cocaine, and then another drug to counter act the effects in order to study the effectiveness of the counter drug? I am looking for a study that gives crack to it's volunteers.

Please don't reply if you have insults, or other jokes or retardation. Serious people only.

    No, no trials exist that pay volunteers to do drugs. Not legally, anyway.

    Clinical trials will either:

    1. Use patients that have used the desired drugs in the past, or

    2. Use patients that are still active using the desired drugs

    It's illegal for companies to pay volunteers to do drugs, or even be in possession of those drugs themselves (unless they have a government grant).

    The US government used to use inmate volunteers for this kind of research, but that kind of thing generally went out by the end of the 70's.
