Drugs Query…?

Question by skinny.minnie_x: Drugs query…?
I’m going to sound very naive now, but…

what’s the difference between coke, cocaine, crack, crack cocaine, speed..? Are the all the same drug, or are there differences?

Best answer:

Answer by Max
Coke is short for “cocaine.” Crack is cocaine that has been processed into a solid form (as opposed to powder) so that it may be smoked. Speed generally refers to amphetamines, like crystal meth, etc.

They are all stimulants and have the same effect on the body. The difference is how they are ingested, how they are obtained, cost, etc.

Answer by LAINK <3er
Coke=Cocaine. Same thing. Crack Cocacine=Crack. The difference between Crack and Cocaine is the form it comes in. Cocaine is powder, sometimes sold in rocks. Crack is a solid that can be smoked into a liquid form that evaporates… Speed=Methamphetamines… Speed is what people make from cough medicine, battery acid, raid, rat pesticides, etc… Much more potent than cocaine. They are both “uppers” but speed last MUCH much longer than cocaine.
