Chemically altering cocaine so as to make it smokable. (Crack is a cheap impure form of freebase cocaine). It is both highly addictive and highly dangerous; in 1980, comedian Richard Pryor famously set himself on fire while freebasing cocaine and drinking rum.

∙ 14y agofreebasing is when you take usually an opiate such as Oxycontin's or heroin and put it on a piece of tin foil and light the bottom of the tin foil until smoke rises and you suck the smoke in through a straw or something similar to a straw like a pen with all of the stuff taken out.

What is the difference between cocaine freebasing and speedball?
Cocaine freebasing is a method of absorbing cocaine into your body. The cocaine is placed on a layer of tinfoil that is heated from beneath by a fire element (usually lighter, easy portability and accuracy) and then the fumes are inhaled, usually via the mouth with the assistance of a tubular device. A speedball is a different composition of drugs, a mix of both heroin and cocaine.

When did crack become illegal?
Crack cocaine became illegal in the United States in 1986 with the passing of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act. The Act imposed harsh penalties for crack cocaine offenses, leading to significant disparities in sentencing compared to powder cocaine offenses.
What is the definition of crack as in a drug?
Crack is just a different, more dangerous form of cocaine, that became popular in the 1980s.For a long time, people had been freebasing cocaine. Freebasing is when you put the cocaine on a piece of tin foil, and light a cigarette lighter underneath it. As the cocaine cooks, a vapor rises from it, and you inhale the vapor with a straw made from tin foil.Sometime in the late 1970s, somebody figured out that if you boil cocaine with water, baking soda, and other household chemicals, it produces a rock-like substance that burns at a lower temperature than regular cocaine. This makes it very easy to smoke, and makes the high more intense than freebasing: since it burns faster than regular cocaine, you end up smoking more of it in the same amount of time. And since you end up smoking more of it in the same amount of time, the risk of overdose and death is that much greater.Since crack is essentially a diluted form of cocaine, it is cheaper than regular cocaine. The cheap price is what caused the crack epidemic in the 1980s, since people who normally wouldn't have been able to afford the steep price of a cocaine addiction could now get high every day for cheap.
What illegal drug looks like molasses after its smoked and then it turns rock hard?
I don't think I've ever actually seen molasses, so I may be wrong, but I think you are talking about heroin. I have heard of China White heroin and black tar heroin, but the only heroin I've ever seen was neither white nor black: it was a very fine, dry powder that was a tan/beige color (very, very light brown). Anyway, after smoking this heroin (freebasing it off of tin foil, actually) it would turn into a very, very dark brown, almost black-looking substance that was rock-hard.
What is morphine freebase?
The term "freebasing" is a misnomer as it refers to the composition of the drug. It does not mean "to smoke" the drug per se, but you cannot smoke morphine in its non-freebase form. Morphine freebase is just morphine. Most formulations of morphine are either morphine salts (MSO4) where the freebase is protonated, or morphine hydrochloride which is morphine that is treated with hydrochloric acid (HCl). In order to create morphine freebase, you have to extract the morphine from the formulation by chemically altering the composition. This is really no different to producing crack, which is the freebase of cocaine. The most common reason for producing morphine freebase is in order to make heroin, which can then be smoked or injected.Previous answerTo freebase morphine means to smoke that stuff off some foil with a straw.
Did Johnny Depp get braces?
As far as the media knows, Johnny Depp did not get braces. The only time he doctored on his teeth was while filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse fo the Black Pearl. He asked the dentist to replace most of his pearly white with gold ones. Yet, an executive told him to get the pearly whites all back except a few.
Why is ammonia in cigarettes?
Allowing for the very likely case of a mis-spelling in your question, I will assume you mean "menthol", which is in the cigarette paper in menthol cigarettes. Some smokers prefer the menthol sensation - simple as that. The word "methanol" in your question is methyl (wood) alcohol, and is not in cigarettes in any more than minute trace amount, if that. There are supposedly 4,000 different compounds in cigarette smoke in "minute, trace amounts".
What is Oxycontin OP?
Oxycodone op, as opposed to oc, is an Oxy pill containing malincodt, or something similar, that causes the pill to gel upon ingestion, and is meant to limit the abuse of the drug. It prevents it from being injected or snorted or smoked, forcing the user (or abuser) to eat the entire pill at once, and causing the pill to retain it's time-release function. Even if it is cut up, or ground up, which is extremely difficult, each piece will gel individually and still absorb slowly over a period of eight hours. There are apparently ways of extracting the opiate from the pill, similar to freebasing, by boiling the pill in various liquids for various amounts of time. I intend to experiment with a few very soon and I will post my results here, so tune in regularly.
