This explains why the powder is snorted and injected and crack is smoked.
98 degrees Celsius) temperature than cocaine powder and is not water soluble. I always smoke this on top of a bud I do spoon cleanup with.
Carefully heat (dont contact the spoon with the actual flame) until it's a paste consistency. Base and crack cocaine has a much lower melting (c. Add you blow, sprinkle in a very small amount of baking soda, add water dropwise until they begin to mix in the solution. With ‘crack’ particularly when the final heating step is made in a microwave impurities are locked in as opposed to washed out. This will be a much purer form of base cocaine. The precipitate (freebase) will dissolve in the ether, then mixture will separate, the ether is dissolved off and white crystals will form. Ethyl ether, which is highly inflammable is added. As hydrochloride has been removed from the cocaine, the rocks are smokable. This process removes the hydrochloride from the pure form of cocaine, creating a solid substance that is then broken down into small rocks. Freebase is made by adding ammonia to a cocaine/water solution, forming a white milky precipitate. Crack is made by boiling a mixture of powder cocaine, water, and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) or ammonia. Crack cocaine is less pure than using ether to make freebase cocaine (there is lots of baking soda left), but the procedure is safer. It should be distinguished from ‘Freebase cocaine’. Crack derives from the discovery that cocaine in its base form delivers a similar effect to injecting (nearly always the most efficient way of getting a drug into the bloodstream.
