Crack cocaine is a form of the drug cocaine that has been processed into small, crystalline rocks. It is created by dissolving powder cocaine in a mixture with baking soda or ammonia and then heating it until it forms solid chunks. Crack is typically smoked, leading to rapid and intense effects because it quickly reaches the brain. It produces feelings of euphoria, increased energy, and confidence, but also has a high potential for addiction. The use of crack cocaine poses serious health risks, including heart problems, respiratory issues, and neurological damage.
