different from pure cocaine. Crack is produced through the
process known as "freebasing," wherein the user cooks the
cocaine powder. The user adds a baking soda while cooking the
cocaine powder to produce chunks or rocks that are inhaled or
smoked by the user. When this drug is being smoked, it produces
a crackling sound. This is where the name, "crack," came from. A
