To start with, it is important to note the facts about crack and cocaine, rather than the fear that has been associated with them. Both crack and cocaine are obtained from the coca plant, but they are different in terms of their presentation, use, and effects. Powder cocaine is normally ingested or dissolved, leading to a slow and short-lived experience. On the other hand, crack is a solid form of cocaine that is supposed to be heated and then smoked, leading to a rapid and short-lived experience. This has a great effect on the health effects, use, and social implications.
