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.
