I smoke fairly often... I'm about to take a tolerance break for a few weeks, get my life on track again. I probably smoke once a day, sometimes twice. Some days I won't smoke, but in all likelihood, I will the next day.
They're called crack rocks for a reason. Would you snort a rock?
Even soft comes in rocks...
You can technically smoke cocaine, too.
If you tried hard enough you could snort crack. But, considering the things they put in it, you'd cut up your nose.
Not that any use of crack is good for you.
You can freebase cocaine, but trying to smoke powder cocaine won't get you very far; the vaporization temperature is too close to the burning point. The process changes it from a salt form (acidic) to a alkali form (basic) so your lighter won't transform that white gold into inert mass. You don't actually smoke crack, you vaporize it (indirect flame).
Crack is like the opposite, even though, as far as I know it's just free based cocaine.
Cocaine and baking soda mixed, sometimes (often) cut with other fillers. The baking soda makes it easily smokable, and very, VERY addictive. It also makes the come-up really short. Instead of doing a line and feeling it fifteen minutes later, you smoke a hit and feel it before you breathe out. Instant high, instant addiction.
Lots of misinformation in this thread...
