Fun fact, "free base" is the origin of the of the term "based".

Originally it was not a good thing.

Language changes, so now based is fucking rad. And rad is not a term used by anyone.

Only mathematicians still like throwing rads around

And x-ray technicians. If your ehs representative say there are too many rads.... RUN!

Physicists also use rads for circular motions.

I disagree. It's too rad not to use.

Based still has the innate connotation of doing your own thing without caring how others perceive you, which can still be a crackhead kind of trait.
