Crack Use and Addiction
Crack was introduced by drug dealers as a way to mass market cocaine. Unlike the powdered form that is snorted or taken through injection, crack is a crystalline form that is primarily smoked.

The smoke is absorbed through the lungs and the high is almost instant. It creates a great sensation of euphoria as cocaine blocks open the dopamine receptors in the brain, responsible for pleasurable sensations in the body. The high is faster through crack, and that is one reason why it is so highly addictive.
Cocaine and crack does terrible damage to the heart. Crack is a stimulant. It increases the heart rate to unhealthy levels. When overdose occurs, usually it is a heart related problem that happens. Individuals who abuse crack run the risk of heart failure. This is preventable. It requires a drug rehab with a focus on crack addiction.
