The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as crack. There are users who chemically process cocaine in order to eradicate the hydrochloride. This process is called “freebasing” and makes the drug more potent. “Crack” is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is called “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 buy the equipment associated with freebasing. Crack is most often packaged in plastic bags and sold in small quantities, usually 300-500mg or enough for two to three inhalations.
