How is crack used? Crack, in the form of little “rocks” or chips, is most commonly smoked in a pipe. This method provides for extremely fast absorption into the blood and quick transmission to the brain. Crack can also be injected by users who transform the rocks into liquid form, by mixing with vinegar, lemon juice or vitamin C powder and water. Crack produces an almost immediate and very intense ‘high,’ which might begin in a matter of seconds and last for 5 to 10 minutes. |
