Crack cocaine

Crack cocaine, also known simply as crack, is a free base form of cocaine that can be smoked. Crack offers a short but intense high to smokers, and is generally considered to be the most addictive form of cocaine. Crack first saw widespread use in primarily impoverished inner city neighborhoods several major U.S. in late 1984 and 1985; its rapid increase in use and availability is sometimes termed as the "crack epidemic".
