Chemistry
Crack cocaine, often nicknamed “crack” due to the sound that is made when it is being cooked down into this form is believed to have been created and made popular during the 1980s. Because of the dangers for manufacturers of using ether to produce pure freebase cocaine, producers began to omit the step of removing the freebase precipitate from the ammonia mixture.

The “rock” that is thus formed also contains a small amount of water.
