Start
Crack cocaine is a powerful, illegal, and highly addictive stimulant made by processing powdered cocaine with baking soda and water into solid rocks. It is primarily smoked, causing an intense, brief euphoria that leads to severe health risks and rapid dependence.
Effects and Use
The High: Smoking delivers the drug to the lungs and brain in seconds, producing a strong rush of energy and confidence that lasts only 5 to 10 minutes.
The "Crash": Dopamine levels drop sharply after use, causing intense depression, fatigue, and an immediate craving for another dose.
