The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as crack. There are users who chemically process cocaine in order to take away the hydrochloride. This process is called “freebasing” and makes the drug more potent. “Crack” is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is called “crack” because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked. Since crack is a prepared form of freebased cocaine, the user does not have to be exposed to the explosive chemicals associated with freebasing. Crack is normally in vials and sold in small quantities, usually 300-500mg or enough for two to three inhalations.

Spirituality is defined as a belief in a supreme being higher than any other beings and that this being has the power to operate the universe. It is an awareness of the purpose and meaning of life and the development of personal, absolute values. Typically, when we say spirituality, religion is associated. But, although spirituality is linked with religious life, many think that personal spirituality can be developed outside of religion. Acts of compassion and selflessness, altruism, and the experience of inner peace are all characteristics of spirituality.
