Modo
de Consumo
Dado
que el crack al fumárselo se ingresa rápidamente al torrente sanguíneo,
produciéndole al individuo una sensación de euforia, pánico, insomnio y la
necesidad de repetir la toma de Crack. Debido a la ansiedad por mantener la
sensación tope del momento del consumo y por la mecanización ritual de su
preparación, que contribuye a sosegar la sensación de pánico y el delirio de
persecución.
Se
hizo muy popular en la década de los ochenta, entre otras razones por su precio
relativamente bajo frente a la cocaína y por la facilidad que presenta para
procesarlo y adquirirlo. Sus efectos secundarios son similares a los de la
cocaína, solamente que el riesgo de padecer alguna complicación es más alto,
por las vías de consumo, propensa a producir accidentes cardio y cerebro
vasculares.
Desde
los años 80, el crack se fuma en pipa de vidrio, con ceniza de cigarro sobre
una lata con orificios, en un gotero de cristal, en un cigarro como primo
(nombre que se le da al cigarro de tabaco junto con el crack ), entre otras.
Otro instrumento utilizado para consumir crack es un tubo metálico similar a
una antena de radio (en muchos casos lo es) a la que se le introduce una suerte
de alambre (llamado popularmente en las calles como screen/scrin) y se utiliza
para fumar crack simulando una pipa. Este método es utilizado principalmente
por adictos de muy pocos recursos, aunque acabe resultando más caro que la
cocaína debido a la corta duración de los efectos.
Efectos
del Crack a corto plazo
El
crack causa un intenso viaje de corta duración seguido inmediatamente por lo
opuesto: depresión intensa, tensión nerviosa y ansia por más droga. Los que la
consumen a menudo no se alimentan ni duermen apropiadamente. Pueden
experimentar un marcado incremento del ritmo cardíaco, espasmos musculares y
convulsiones. La droga puede hacer que la gente se sienta paranoica, 1 enojada,
hostil y ansiosa, incluso cuando no están bajo su influencia.
Sin
tener en cuenta lo que se consuma de la droga o con qué frecuencia, el crack
incrementa el riesgo de que el consumidor experimente un infarto, derrame cerebral,
ataques o insuficiencia respiratoria; cualquiera de las cuales puede resultar
en una muerte súbita.
Fumar
crack además presenta una serie de riesgos para la salud. El crack está
comúnmente mezclado con otras sustancias que crean gases tóxicos cuando se
queman. Como el humo del crack no permanece potente por mucho tiempo, las pipas
de crack son generalmente muy cortas. Esto causa a menudo que se partan los
labios y ampollas conocidas como “labio de crack” porque los consumidores
presionan una pipa muy caliente entre sus labios.
Al
ser fumado, los efectos del crack son más inmediatos y más intensos que los de
la cocaína en polvo.

crack pueden experimentar problemas respiratorios, incluyendo tos.

infecciosas.

químicas, se necesita cada vez más droga para sentirse simplemente “normal”.

drogas) pierden interés por otras áreas de la vida.

The term crack is an onomatopoeia that suggests the noise made by the stones of this drug when heated by the evaporation of cocaine on a basis they contain, when released from the mixture with sodium bicarbonate. It also receives vulgar names by users Of this drug, like rocks, chulas, pops, stones, girls, hard, market, ice, rock & roll, rockstars or Chespi, among others; Sometimes mistakenly confused with the basic paste of cocaine, also called bazuco, paco or pitillo, which is the crust that remains in the pot where they prepare cocaine and is composed of the alkaloids of the plant without refining or purifying.
It became very popular in the 1980s, among other reasons because of its relatively low price compared to cocaine and the ease it presents to process and acquire it. Its side effects are similar to those of cocaine, only that the risk of suffering some complication is higher, by the routes of consumption, prone to produce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
Since the 1980s, crack cocaine has been smoked in a glass pipe, with cigar ash on a can with holes, in a glass dropper, on a cigar as a cousin (a name given to cigarette smoke along with crack) , among other. Another instrument used to consume crack is a metal tube similar to a radio antenna (in many cases it is) to which you are introduced a kind of wire (popularly called on the streets as screen / scrin) and used for smoking crack Simulating a pipe. This method is mainly used by addicts of very few resources, although it turns out to be more expensive than the cocaine due to the short duration of the effects.
Effects of Crack in the short term
Crack causes an intense short-lived trip followed immediately by the opposite: intense depression, nervous tension and craving for more drugs. Those who consume it often do not feed and sleep properly. They may experience a marked increase in heart rate, muscle spasms, and seizures. The drug can make people feel paranoid, angry, hostile and anxious even when they are not under their influence.

Smoking crack also presents a number of health risks. Crack is commonly mixed with other substances that create toxic gases when burned. As crack smoke does not remain potent for a long time, crack pipes are generally very short. This often causes the lips and blisters to break apart, known as a "crack lip" because consumers press a very hot pipe between their lips.
When smoked, the effects of crack are more immediate and more intense than those of cocaine powder.
