Well yes and no, i would assume you mean dangerous substances like talcum powder or glass or something like that but it is simply an urban myth that cocaine is mixed with substances like this after all its not in the dealers intentions to kill someone.
But then cocaine its self is a dangerous substance and is often mixed with similar, cheaper analogue of cocaine. These could be research chemicals which can potentially be lethal.

Very few. Cocaine kills maybe 300 tops a year. Most of the time it only kills users who are dumb and don't know what the hell they are doing and end up O.D.ing or they have Heart disease/problems.

Cocaine and caffeine are almost similar when it comes to health problems and addiction. ADDIT Cocaine is almost impossible to O.D on solely. What causes death is the combination of other substances most of the users have in there system, particularly alcohol, which has a chemical reaction to cocaine...and in excess will kill you.

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.
What is a solid to a liquid solutions?
Solutes can be considered solids in liquid solutions.

Salt, for example, must be properly mixed into water in order for it to dissolve.

What does it mean to cut heroin?
"Cutting" drugs refers to mixing them with something. Pure heroin, or pure cocaine, is mixed with another substance so that a dealer can make more money. I don't know what heroin is usually cut with, but cocaine is often cut with baby laxatives. For example, if a dealer has 1 kilo of pure cocaine, he can mix in some crushed baby laxative, and now he has 1.5 kilos of cocaine. Drugs such as Ecstasy are typically cut with other drugs, usually some form of speed (amphetamines or methamphetamines), but other times cocaine, heroin, or ketamine (Special K).
