no shit
crack cocaine is not the same as traditional old coke dumbass
yes it comes from coke, but no its not the same
if you went and bought coke off the street you would NOT be able to smoke it
the difference between cocaine and crack cocaine is that cocaine is a snortable powder and is in the salt form of the substance. Crack cocaine can refer to freebase cocaine, which is rather dangerous to use due to the use of ammonia. The more common form of crack cocaine cooks sodium bicarb in with the coke to make the cocaine smokeable. It can then also be reprocessed with water to help remover the left over bicarb and make a purer anhydrous base. When cocaine is smoked, the rush in incredibly intense and short lived, which is why crack heads are such fiends, the shit only gets you high for a minute or two and then its off to Jonestown till you get another rock.
edit:
and the fact u use urban dictionary for reference is complete /fail
