It is the same type of high beside the fact that Crack hits you faster & doesnt last as long. Cocaine doesnt last that long either.. thats why you gotta do line after line cause the intial high only last like 20-30 minutes. I heard Crack lasts like 10 minutes.
Crack/Cocaine is the substance. baking soda/water is an INACTIVE ingredient. It is possible to smoke cocaine (i do not recommend it), I've put it on blunts before n shit, makes it burn slower.
I really can't believe im having this argument.

@
Tha Dope Man ,
AGREED. I wasn't trying to say you were wrong about anything except how the two substances are viewed differently as far as criminality.... which I now see I misinterpreted your post about what the government calls the substances as oppose to how they are regulated.
Just trying to put in my 2 cents.... Clearly this thread has a lot of miscommunication involved.
I definitely agree, as I posted previously, both have the same active ingredient that effects the same neurochemicals (dopamine receptors in various parts of the brain I believe? might want to double check... sometimes norepinephrine is involved, but that might be more for methamphetamine ).
NOW, I do agree with @
Just C in his comment that the ingestion method changes the drug effects and physiological response, but I was more interested in how egregiously different these substances are treated as far as sentencing despite the fact that they are so related in sharing the active ingredient.
Luckily, Obama passed the 2010 Act (I posted wiki link), which I highly suggest reading about for one's own personal understanding of drug politics in America.
REHAB NOW! (don't punish users, help them)

People add shit to crack cocaine and still call it crack cocaine, which is incorrect. So if they add baking soda and shit or whatever, it's no longer pure crack cocaine is it?
if u got water and add crystal light, it's not just water anymore

This argument is funny, but I have to say that both Cocaine and Crack are often cut, and still described with those names despite the impurities.... but that is going into a discussion about how users refer to quality. With meth, there are words like 'glass' that describe the clearer, less cut products. With coke and crack its more of a free for all of descriptions and words like 'pure' 'raw' .... yadda yadda yadda....
Why are we talking about crack again?
