crack cocaine
Crystallized street drug
Crack cocaine is a form of cocaine processed into small rocks that can be smoked, producing an intense, short-lived high.
The name comes from the crackling sound it makes when heated.
Crack emerged in American cities in the 1980s and became associated with urban poverty and aggressive law enforcement.
It's pharmacologically identical to powder cocaine but carries harsher legal penalties—a disparity widely criticized as racially biased.
