Crack cocaine

Crack cocaine is a type of drug made from a powdery form of cocaine, which is a drug made from coca plant leaves. This powdered form is mixed with other substances and then heated to make it into a solid form. When smoked, this solid form of the drug gives the user a very quick and intense feeling of being very awake and powerful. This feeling can make people act recklessly or do dangerous things that can harm others or themselves. It can also cause serious health problems, including heart problems and addiction.
