Answer by Native American Lotus Flower
crack is bad for you don’t try it.
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. Typically, filtration processes are also omitted. The end result is that the cut, in addition to the ammonium salt (NH4Cl), remains in the freebase cocaine after the mixture has evaporated. The “rock” that is thus formed also contains a small amount of water.

The Alcohol & Drug Abuse the Islamic Perspective
The Alcohol & Drug Abuse The Islamic Perspective – The Alcohol & Drug Abuse : The Islamic Perspective: The objectives of Islamic divine laws are the protection of faith (belief in one God), life ( abortion. suicide, homicide), property (ownership) and the mind (intoxicants). Normally in the brain there is an inhibitory control which tells us not to engage in shameful or wrongful acts. Any suppressant drug including alcohol will suppress this nerve pathways and take away such restraint. Ability to make a judgement, to protect the body or honor, a quality for humans is taken away under the influence of drugs.
