1. Crack cocaine

   Crack cocaine, also known simply as crack or rock, is a free base form of cocaine that can be smoked. Crack offers a short, intense high to smokers. The Manual of Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment calls it the most addictive form of cocaine. Crack first saw widespread use as a recreational drug in primarily impoverished neighborhoods in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Miami in late 1984 and 1985; its rapid increase in use and availability is sometimes termed as the "crack epidemic".

1. crack cocaine

   Crack cocaine is a highly addictive and dangerous form of cocaine that is processed into a rock crystal form that can be smoked. It is named "crack" due to the crackling sound it produces when it is heated. This drug delivers a short but intense high to users and is considerably more potent and lethal than regular cocaine. It is illegal in most places due to its severe health risks, which include severe respiratory and mental health problems.

   The purified, alkaloidal, extra-potent form of cocaine. It is smoked (free-based), injected intravenously, and orally ingested.

The slang term "crack" was derived from the crackling sound made upon igniting of this form of cocaine for smoking.
