what's the difference with crack and cocaine?

Crack is a street drug as is cocaine. Crack's main ingredient is cocaine, although it has gone through a process of bastardization and the form is comverted from powder to "rock"- yes, crack is usually smoked although it can be injected as well. Usually cocaine is snorted through the nose in powder form.\n\nCrack cocaine, a form of cocaine base, is derived from powder cocaine. Unlike the processing of freebase cocaine, converting powder cocaine into crack cocaine does not involve any flammable solvents. The powder cocaine is simply dissolved in a solution of sodium bicarbonate and water. The solution is boiled and a solid substance separates from the boiling mixture. This solid substance, crack, is removed and allowed to dry. The crack cocaine is then broken or cut into "rocks," each typically weighing from one-tenth to one-half of a gram. One gram of pure powder cocaine will convert to approximately 0.89 grams of crack cocaine. The DEA estimates that crack rocks are between 75% and 90% pure cocaine. \n\nThe name "crack" comes from the crackling sound the drug makes when it is burned;

It can be if you start drinking Coke instead water. Coke also can take the calcium out of your bones, which makes them weak and easier to break.

yeah because cocaine is prob one of the worst.. they are both class a drugs but out of the 2 speed is better. It doesnt have any come downs but it is very dangerous as it makes you hard speed up and if your body reacts you can die. Cocaine changed you hole personality. My ex boyfriend got himself in so much trouble though it.... he owes money to big people. It starts off as harmless fun every now and again but its addicitive and hard to get off.\n\nTry and make them stop everything.. drugs are illegal for a reason. I know that sounds boring and goodie goodie but trust me, i know people whos lives have gone so bad through drugs. I live in a society where drugs are a normal weekend thing... my friends are so different when they do this, and i cant bare to be around them. They look depserate all fighting over the last sniff or tablet! its horrible

(m)\n\n\nCocaine is an alkaloid present in Coca leaves (Erythyroxine coca). Its pharmacological properties, such as stimulation of the brain and central nervous system plus its profound euphoric effects, have been known for centuries. Cocaine has been used medicinally as a local anesthetic agent, but its addictive properties have minimized its modern daily use. Once considered a panacea for all sorts of ailments, Cocaine was readily available as the principle ingredient in patent medicines sold over the counter in the late 1800s and early 1900s. And indeed cocaine was the "secret" ingredient in the original recipe for Coca-Cola©.  Cocaine is most often self-administered by IV injection, nasal insufflations (snorting), and inhalation of vapor from the heating of the free base (smoking). The availability of “crack” (a street form of the free base) has increased cocaine use by the latter method.  Body elimination of cocaine is predominantly controlled by its bio-transformation. Very low concentrations of cocaine are detected in urine during the initial several hours, however benzoylecgonine, a hydrolytic degradation product or system metabolite of cocaine, persists in urine at a detectable level for 48 hours. Immunoassay testing has been developed for the determination of benzoylecgonine (cocaine metabolite) in urine at concentrations of 300 ng/ml or greater, the sensitivity cutoff level set by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.\n\nThe QuickScreen™ One-Step Rapid Cocaine Test utilizes a unique combination of monoclonal antibodies to selectively identify cocaine and its major metabolites in urine with a high degree of sensitivity. The test kit is a rapid, visually read screening method that does not require special instrumentation or training.

The major difference between methamphetamines and amphetamines is the manufacture and strength. Methamphetamines are more potent than amphetamines.

Cocaine produces a wide range of physiological effects in humans, including the stimulation of a plethora of emotional experiences. When people take cocaine, they become euphoric, highly active (locomotion, tremors, and tics), and more talkative than normal. They experience feelings of extreme power and alertness. This initial high is followed by bouts of severe anxiety, paranoia, and depression, which often lead to addiction. Those who become addicted to the drug often turn the habit into an obsession, so that they devote more, and more of their time and money to acquiring and using the drug. \n\nWithdrawal from cocaine can cause a drastic fall in the level of extracellular dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (Rosetti 1992). This decrease is thought to be caused by an increased secretion of dynorphin, one of the endogenous opioids.\n\nmore information in\nhttp://www.macalester.edu/psychology/whathap/UBNRP/Dopamine/cocaine.html\n\n \n(AP) Chronic cocaine use harms brain circuits that help produce the sense of pleasure, which may help explain why cocaine addicts have a higher rate of depression, a study suggests \nhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/01/01/health/main534934.shtml

Methamphetamine, street name, Crystal Meth.  And now is converted into Ice, like Crack, just made from Meth, not Cocaine.\n\nThe high is intense, you don't eat, barely sleep, crave SEX and your brain is in high gear, your heart will race.\n\nThis is so addictive.  More addictive than heroin.  When it first hit the scene back in the late 80's I tried it. and craved it, and if my dealer wouldn't have got busted probably died from it.\n\nIt dehydrates your body, the lack of sleep makes you nuts, you can lose teeth and your hair and skin looks and feel awful.\n\nBecause it is made using lovely things like chemicals and petroleum products in addition to the speed used (like sudaephidrine) it is also inherently dangerous.  You never know when the backyard chemist that cooked it has screwed up until you are dead from it.\n\nI would never use it again, nasty nasty stuff.  Do yourself a favor and stay away from it, or be prepared for it to take over you life.

I assume you are using porn along with your masturbating. This eventually becomes as addictive and harder to quit    than using cocaine. I strongly suggest seeking professional  help.

Well it speeds up the heart. When persons die from cocaine use it is usually because their heart gives out because it has been overworked for so long.

No. They stay in you system approx 3 days. The high from smoking vs. snorting is dramatically different. Cocaine itself is very addictive, it is an expensive high and last quite a while. While crack is cheaper, but its' affect goes away in minutes rather than hours. I say no to drugs- sober about 8 yrs.  Shooting and smoking are more addictive than snorting.
