How much crack does 3.5 grams make?

The amount of crack cocaine produced from 3.5 grams of cocaine can vary depending on the specific production process and purity of the cocaine being used. On average, about 10-20% of the original cocaine weight can be converted into crack cocaine, so from 3.5 grams of cocaine, you might get around 0.35 to 0.7 grams of crack cocaine.

What is the difference between freebase cocaine and crack cocaine?

Normal cocaine (Cocaine Hydrochloride) is the typical white powder people snort. This form is a water soluble salt of the cocaine free base and the HCl. This form also vaporizes at a temperature very close to the temperature at which it burns, making it difficult to smoke. Crack cocaine is a cheap yet inefficient method of freeing the base cocaine molecule from the salt. It uses baking soda to remove the proton from the base. However, this safe, cheap method does not involve any purification steps, leaving some water and baking soda (impurity) along with the newly formed "crack" which forms crystals and floats to the top. So freebase cocaine along with other impurites are what make up crack cocaine. Freebase cocain is formed by a similar process. However, ammonia is used to remove the proton and free the cocaine base. Diethyl ether (extremely flammable and volatile) is used to dissolve and remove the freebase cocaine. This can simply be siphoned off the top since ethyl ether does not mix with the water/ammonia solution. The Diethyl Ether evaporates and pure freebase cocaine is left behind. The straight forward answer is that there is absolutely no difference between crack and cocaine base, because crack is a street name or nick for cocaine base. The uses and effects are 100% identical. So the next question is why is there a higher penalty for crack than cocaine base. The straight forward answer is our Legislative, Executive and Judicial branch has engaged in racial discrimination when charging black americans, which is what we call the new form of the Jim Crow Law. Whites who are charged with cocaine base don't get the aka crack added to their indictment and therefore since 1914 the federal statute continues to treat cocaine hydrochloride (snortable) the same as cocaine base (smokable) , whites therefore receive a lesser prison sentence. Black Americans on the other hand get the aka crack included in their indictment therefore receiving excessively long prison sentences. Example a white person who is charged with 5 grams of cocaine base would get a 6 to 12 months sentence the same sentence 5 gram cocaine powder would provide 'a misdemeanor'. While the black individual who possess the same quantity would receive, a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years which is a felony for a substance that is identical to the substance a white person possessed, the only difference is the aka crack term used in the indcitment to described the cocaine base possessed by the black defendant. So a fact, which is undissputable, crack does not physically or scientifically exist because no scientifically test exists that would differientiate cocaine base as being crack remember it is a street term, the test only results in cocaine base. Therefore crack is a nick name for cocaine base. Crack and cocaine base are the same thing, the only difference is what race you are and the sentence imposed, because of your race.

Is crack cocaine and cocaine different?

No, it will not. Crack is simply cocaine prepared with baking soda in a way that makes it smokeable so a drug test performed on someone who has taken crack and someone who has taken cocaine will return the same chemical signature.

Is cocaine used with a spoon?

No. You use a crack pipe to smoke rock cocaine. A spoon is used for substances you inject. Heroin comes directly to the minds of most people, but the spoon is very versatile. You can inject and use a spoon for cocaine, but not for his brother crack. Actually a spoon is used for many that cook cocaine into it's crack form. It cooks out most of the cut used in cocaine and leaves a rock if done correctly.

What is the Sources of crack cocaine?

Crack cocaine is a crude freebase form of cocaine. Cocaine is generally not made synthetically, but rather extracted from the coca plant, which is extensively cultivated for cocaine production. The extracted cocaine is then purified and reacted to form a more stable salt for distribution. This salt of cocaine is reacted, typically by the consumer or 'dealer', with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to free the cocaine base from the salt, hence the term freebase. Although there are other ways of producing purer freebase cocaine, these methods are more complex and often involve dangerous chemicals. Crack cocaine is typically not used to refer to the purer freebase. In fact, the term 'crack' comes from the crackling noise that is produced by the residual baking soda in the product, which decomposes when heated.

Is there a medical use for crack?

How much crack can be made out of 1 gram of cocaine in nyc?

It is difficult to determine the exact amount of crack cocaine that can be produced from 1 gram of cocaine. This conversion process typically involves adding baking soda and water to the cocaine, and the yield can vary based on the purity of the cocaine and the specific production techniques used. However, generally speaking, 1 gram of cocaine can be converted into a smaller amount of crack cocaine due to the addition of other substances during the manufacturing process.
