Crack is actually cocaine hydrochloride that has had the hydrochloride part removed, which just leaves behind the cocaine. This means crack is much stronger than cocaine powder.

It comes as a creamy white lump or ‘rock’.

ice, rocks and white.

Crack itself is a nickname and is named because of the cracking noise it makes when it’s heated.

If you use Crack you can:

• Feel as though you are powerful
• Feel a false sense of confidence
• Become incredibly paranoid and very scared
• Feel as though you want to use it again as soon as the effects have worn off
• Feel as though you have loads of energy
• Feel as though you don’t need to eat
• Laugh at nothing (giggly)
• Feel as though you can do anything
• Feel as though you are in control
• Talk a lot quicker

No fun after - Cocaine takes the user really high, which means the after effects are going to be nasty. The user feels exhausted, really sad, irritable, twitchy and depressed.  People don’t want to be near that person because they are mean and no fun to be around.

Why? – Crack makes the user feel so good that they just want to take it again and again. This costs a fortune and people often turn to crime if they can’t afford to buy the drug.

Avoid - Crack is the type of drug that should be avoided because of the hassle that it gets its users in to.
