WHAT IS CRACK?

Crack cocaine, commonly known simply as crack, and also known as rock, is a free base form of the stimulant cocaine that can be smoked. Crack offers a short, intense high to smokers. It is an addictive stimulant that was popular in the 80's for it's immediate high and affordable prices. When you smoke crack, it zooms straight to your brain at lightning speed, hitting you with a more intense rush compared to snorting powdered cocaine. The high you get from smoking crack usually lasts around five to ten minutes. So, to put it simply, crack is like solid cocaine that you smoke to get high. Some folks call it rocks or hard, mostly in the street terms.

WHERE DOES CRACK COME FROM?

When it comes to cooking crack, there are two main methods: using a stove or a spoon. People who have been using crack for a while usually go with the spoon, while the folks in the trap, the ones selling it, prefer the stove.

If you're using a spoon, you want to keep it simple and not go over a gram of powdered cocaine. Just grab your cocaine, a spoon, and a lighter. Now, for the trap hustlers, they take it up a notch. They use a stove and a few more ingredients like pure cocaine (you don't want to use low-quality stuff), baking soda, a Pyrex container, and, of course, a stove to cook their crack.

The key to cooking crack is the ratio. Experienced chemists can double their product by turning 2 grams of cocaine into 4 grams of crack. That's why they often start with pure cocaine. However, if you're new to crack cooking, don't worry if you lose a bit of the product during your first attempts. It happens to everyone.

To give you an idea, let's say you have 7 grams of pure cocaine. By adding 7 grams of baking soda and using the right technique, you can end up with a total of 14 grams of crack cocaine. But remember, it takes practice to get it just right. So, be mindful of the ratio and keep honing your skills in the art of crack cooking.

WHY IS CRACK A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE TO COCAINE?

Is crack cheaper than cocaine? That sounds intriguing! But hold on, folks, I must clarify that crack is typically never pure cocaine. In fact, a significant portion of the crack rock might consist of baking soda. Mixing 0.6 grams of pure cocaine with 0.4 grams of baking soda yields one gram of crack. Would you be able to discern the difference? Most likely not, depending on the specific ratio. Distributors or "plugs" often dilute their cocaine during the production process to increase their product quantity, thus maximizing profits. Acquiring pure cocaine is challenging unless you have access to a reliable source or are purchasing large amounts, such as 36 ounces. In simpler terms, crack cocaine caters to individuals with lower income, while pure cocaine is sold to those with higher incomes or more financial means.

 

 

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF CRACK?

The physiological effects of crack cocaine can have both short-term and long-term impacts on the body. In the short term, cocaine use can result in constricted blood vessels, dilated pupils, increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. Some users may experience restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. In rare cases, sudden death can occur, often due to cardiac arrest or seizures followed by respiratory arrest.

 

Smoking crack can specifically lead to cardiovascular problems, such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, which can have long-term consequences. Research suggests that smoking crack or freebase cocaine may pose additional health risks compared to other methods of using cocaine. These risks are associated with the release of methylecgonidine, which can affect the heart, lungs, and liver.

 

Crack cocaine is often adulterated with various substances to increase its weight and volume, and some of these additives can be highly toxic. Adulterants used with crack and cocaine include substances like milk powder, sugars, caffeine, lidocaine, and even dangerous compounds like strychnine. These toxic adulterants can pose short-term and long-term health risks.

 

Smoking crack also presents specific health risks. It is considered more harmful than other administration routes. Crack pipes are designed to minimize the time between evaporating and ingestion, but the smoke loses potency quickly. The use of short crack pipes can cause cracked and blistered lips, commonly known as "crack lip." Sharing pipes can also lead to the transfer of bacteria or viruses between individuals.

It's important to be aware that the quality of crack can vary greatly, and using larger amounts of diluted crack without knowledge of its potency can increase the risk of overdose and heart problems. Furthermore, studies on animals have shown that crack cocaine can cause DNA damage in multiple organs.

Overall, the use of crack cocaine can have significant physiological effects on the body, both in the short term and long term, and it is crucial to understand and consider these risks before engaging in its use.
