Crack cocaine is highly addictive; often the user becomes addicted after just one use. Only 10 seconds after having inhaled one puff the user is already high. Euphoria is felt, which only lasts from 5 to 10 minutes. That is why additional use becomes necessary for the user. After this euphoric experience the user enters a period where a person feels anxious, paranoid and insecure.

Regular consumption of crack creates a quick, strong, physical and psychological dependency. This dependency persists months after having stopped taking crack; therefore, the temptation to consume is very strong. If crack is inhaled on a regular basis, it can cause hallucinations and incite violent actions, deliria, paranoia, suicidal thoughts and psychosis. Brain damage can also occur, along with respiratory or cardiac issues that may result in death.

Crack is known to look like little off-white rocks which are heated and smoked by the individual. This will create the effect of a crackling noise; hence, the name crack cocaine.

Crack is a strong central nervous system stimulant that interferes with the reabsorption process of dopamine, a chemical messenger associated with pleasure and movement. Dopamine is released as part of the brain’s reward system and is involved in the high that characterizes cocaine consumption. Crack addicts often say they will go to treatment, but by the time the family finds a program and is ready to send them they have changed their minds and are back out using again. If you have a loved one that is addicted to Crack be prepared, do your homework ahead of time and when the time comes that they ask for help be ready to move that day. If you wait you will lose the opportunity and maybe lose your loved one forever.
