Question 6

CRACK VS COCAINE
(Hart, 2014)

Answer 6

Physiological and psychoactive effects similar regardless of whether form is cocaine hydrochloride or crack cocaine (cocaine base)

BUT: greater abuse liability, greater propensity for dependence, and more severe consequences when cocaine is smoked (cocaine-base) or injected intravenously (cocaine hydrochloride) compared with intranasal use (cocaine hydrochloride)

Smoking (crack) allows faster uptake of the drug into the brain and a more intense high

Methamphetamine is metabolised to amphetamine and remains in the brain and body for longer than cocaine
