What Is Crack Cocaine?
Crack is a form of freebase cocaine that is best suited to smoking. Smoking street cocaine (cocaine hydrochloride) is possible but a lot of the cocaine gets destroyed when heated.
Cocaine hydrochloride requires a high temperature to ignite, freebase cocaine requires a much lower temperature to ignite.
Converting cocaine to freebase is fairly easy and the resulting product is ideal for smoking. Very little of the cocaine is destroyed in the heating process when smoking freebase cocaine.
The reason people smoke freebase cocaine is because it provides a feeling that is similar to the effect one gets from injecting cocaine. But smoking freebase cocaine does not require needles.
