Are Crack Cocaine and Cocaine the Same Drug?
Question by Relapsing312: Are crack cocaine and cocaine the same drug?
I am arguing with someone who is trying to tell me that they are two totally different drugs. Now I know that they are the same thing essentially just crack is in rock form so it can be smoked while regular cocaine is still in powder form.
I know I’m right I just need some ideas as to why, lol. Also would love to have some websites that back up my theory.
Thanks in advance and I will award best answer to the person who gives me the most info.

COCAINE CRACK
It delivers an intensity of pleasure beyond the bounds of normal experience.Unfortunately, it delivers suffering beyond the bounds of normal human experience too.
The pleasure it yields is brief.
The suffering that follows may be prolonged. The brain’s hedonic treadmill isn’t easily cheated.
Cocaine has been around for years and years. Crack is the name given to cocaine that has been processed with baking soda or ammonia and transformed into a more potent,smokeable, “”rock form.” The name refers to the crackling sound heard when the rock is heated and smoked.
It is a stimulant that has been abused for ages; however crack cocaine is the most potent form in which the drug has appeared.
During the 1970s it was developed during the cocaine boom. It’s use became enormously popular in the mid-1980s particularly in urban areas.
During the 70s and right up until today, it has destroyed men and women, children and people from all walks of life. It is expensive to produce, and is much cheaper to purchase than powder cocaine. It has sold for as little as $ 10.00, $ 15.00 and less.
When it is processed from the powder form it appears as a yellowish-white rock. It is cut or broken into smaller rocks weighing a few tenths of a gram. It is generally smoked through a glass hand pipe or even a empty soda can.
The high it produces begins immediately after the vapors are inhaled and lasts about 5 to 10 minutes. After the initial “rush”subsides, the user experiences an intense desire for more of the drug—this is how users can become addicted after their first hit.
It is not unusual for a user to smoke up his whole paycheck, rent money and any other money that is available, like a bank account.
There is a great risk when using any form of cocaine but crack cocaine is the riskiest form of the substance.Smoking a substance allows it to reach the brain more quickly than other routes, and compulsive use will develop even more rapidly if the substance is smoked rather than snorted.
