Post Description

Crack is a fast-acting, highly addictive version of cocaine, made by cooking the powdered form of the drug. Because it can be made and sold inexpensively and produces a potent high, crack quickly became popular after its introduction in the mid-1980s.  Inhaling smoke from a crack pipe enables the cocaine to be absorbed into the bloodstream as rapidly as it would be if injected.  However, the resulting high only lasts for five to 10 minutes, compared to as long as 30 minutes for snorting cocaine. That means that crack smokers have smoke repeatedly to remain high.
