Talk:Freebase (chemistry)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Crack

So what is the difference between crack and free base? Can some one say it very concisely.

From reading the article, I would say the difference is that crack will contain the impurities that were in the aqueous solution during the chemical reaction (because almost all of the water will have been evaporated off... the remaining water boiling off rapidly during smoking... making the "crack"ing sound), while freebase will be only the cocaine base (with the impurities still left in the aqueous solution that the reaction took place in).
