Crack cocaine, a form of cocaine base, is derived from powder cocaine. Unlike the processing of freebasing 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. Most crack rocks are between 75% and 90% pure cocaine.
Crack is smoked or injected. The user experiences a high in less than 10 seconds, much faster than cocaine powder. This rather immediate and euphoric effect is one of the reasons why crack is known as a very powerful form of cocaine and highly addictive. Crack Cocaine is a commonly used drug within the whole province of British Columbia.
The effects of Crack are similar to those of Cocaine, although since Crack is smoked, additional risks exist. General effects include constricted blood vessels and increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure, restlessness, irritability, anxiety, and with long term use, violence and paranoid behaviour. Additional risks of smoking crack include respiratory problems such as shortness of breath, chest pains, lung trauma and bleeding. As with cocaine, crack is highly addictive. Evidence shows that when cocaine and crack are smoked (as opposed to other methods), there is increased risk of compulsive cocaine-seeking behaviour. There have been instances of users who have died of an overdose. During an overdose the user can go into spasms, lose consciousness or fall into a coma and if medical help is not available it can be deadly.
