The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as crack. Some users chemically process cocaine in order to eliminate the hydrochloride. This process is called “freebasing” and makes the drug more potent. “Crack” is a hard form of freebased cocaine. It is named “crack” because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked. Since crack is a ready form of freebased cocaine, the user does not have to be exposed to the explosive chemicals associated with freebasing. Crack is normally in vials and sold in small quantities, usually 300-500mg or enough for two to three inhalations.
