What Is Freebasing?
Freebase cocaine is essentially the “base” form of the drug – the drug in its solid form.
How Crack Cocaine Works. To make crack, powder cocaine is dissolved in a mixture of water and either ammonia or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). The mixture is boiled to separate out the solid, and then it's cooled. The solid is then dried and cut up into small nuggets, or 'rocks.' Crack rocks are white or tan in color. Cook Crack Without Baking Soda. When baking powder is mixed with water it makes carbon dioxide bubbles, which in turn with flour and a bit of oil and some heat makes an nice fluffy cake. Baking soda is also known as sodium bicarbonate. How To Cook Crack In A Spoon. It is a more powerful leavening agent than baking powder.
Freebasing cocaine is the process of freeing the cocaine base from the salt form in which cocaine is naturally found. While crack cocaine is produced by mixing the original cocaine with a combination of water and baking soda, freebase cocaine comes from using ammonia to extract the base.

Freebase cocaine has virtually none of the drug’s additive, hydrochloride. It is essentially the product of converting powder cocaine to cocaine sulfate. The result is a form of cocaine that is almost 100 percent pure. In this form, it has a low melting point, which makes it easier to smoke. Freebase cocaine is not soluble in water, so it is difficult to melt and inject the drug.
There are various methods for freebasing cocaine. Typically, it involves using a small glass pipe. A small piece of clean, heavy copper is used as a reduction base in which the cocaine can be melted and boiled to a vapor. The freebase cocaine is then smoked.
Effects of Freebasing Cocaine
Since it is consumed by smoking, the effects of freebasing cocaine are felt almost immediately. Since freebase cocaine is absorbed through the membranes of the lungs, it enters the bloodstream and the brain within 10-15 seconds. Once it reaches the brain, there is an intense feeling of euphoria followed by an extreme high lasting about 30 minutes.
The high is intense and comes on fast, but it is generally short-lived and followed by a crash. Once the euphoric effects begin to dissipate, the user typically feels extreme fatigue, depression, anxiety, irritability, and paranoia.
Short-term physical effects include excessive sweating, nausea, pinpoint pupils, insomnia, headaches, and a decline in sexual function. Long-term effects of freebase cocaine use include mood changes, irritability, restlessness, depression, anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations.
In addition, smoking the substance brings various negative health effects, such as respiration issues, damage to the lungs and mouth, and a higher likelihood of developing various cancers. With chronic use, damage to all body systems can occur, including:
- Heart palpitations, heart failure, and heart attack
- Stroke
- Seizures
- Asthma and other respiratory issues
Other risks of freebasing include burns to the face or fingers from glass pipes or matches and lighters during use. Additionally, users are prone to injuries from accidents or violence while under the influence.
Withdrawal and Overdose
It is easy to develop a freebase cocaine abuse problem because the drug is so highly addictive, particularly when taken in this form. As such, issues with withdrawal often arise. While cocaine tends produce more psychological withdrawal symptoms than physical, the effects of these psychological symptoms can be intense. Withdrawal symptoms include:
- Nervousness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fatigue
- Muscle pain
- Suicidal or self-harming thoughts
- Strong cravings for the drug
Those who smoke freebase cocaine, as well as crack, are at higher risk for overdose because it is pure cocaine, which makes it extremely potent. If users are accustomed to smoking crack or using powdered cocaine, they may have no idea how much freebase cocaine to smoke, easily taking in high doses that result in overdose. Overdose is also likely because of the intensity and sudden onset of freebase cocaine’s effects. The risk of overdose is compounded if use of freebase cocaine is combined with use of any other substances, such as alcohol.
Overdose is considered a medical emergency, and immediate medical attention is required to avoid significant harm and even death. Symptoms of overdose include rapid heart rate, hyperventilation, convulsions, and coma.

Hello! Forgive me for my loose level of English. I'm spanish. Well, here in Spain the majority of the people cook the crack with ammonia in a spoon. I prefer this method to the method of soda.
Well, my first question is:
If I want to cook crack with ammonia in a microwave is necessary add water in a glass vial? How water is necesary, for example, a half gram?
In Spain, when we cook in a spoon with ammonia we don't add water.
If somebody has cooked crack with ammonia in a microwave, can explain the procedure?
I have read how to cook crack with ammonia in a stove.
Here:
HOW TO MAKE CRACK (A primer by Deus. v1.0)
First you will need:
Stove
Ammonia - ***IMPORTANT*** CLEAR AMMONIA!
glass vial
small jar to hold vial (baby food works well)
eye dropper
distilled water (preferable)
The process:
Ok, take your coke and dissolve it in a few mL of water (you don't need much, but make sure the coke is fully dissolved) in your vial.
Fill your small baby food jar with water and put it in a pan on the stove thats also filled with water. Put your vial filled with coke+water in the baby food jar.
Heat the solution until its warm/hot but not so hot that it would hurt to put your finger in it.
Add drop by drop ammonia to the vial, you will notice a milky white precipitate form. This is the crack (or what ravers call freebase).
Continue until you see no more precipitate form.
(OPTIONAL) Ether is not necessary, but if your so inclined add the ether to the vial. The crack precipitate is not soluble in water but it is soluble in the ether. This step ensures greater purity. But its not necessary.
Syphen off the white layer of precipitate (that will be floating on the top) off with an eyedropper, or pipette, or whatever fits your fancy. If you used ether, syphen off the ether layer.
Put it on a clean dry surface and let the precipitate dry. Scrape up the substance after it dries. This is your crack. If you want to be creative you could put the precipitate into molds and make some nice crackrocks.
Which is better, in a microwave or in a stove? Why?
PD: Mainly I open this message in the forum, because I want to cook crack cocaine use in the microwave. If in the microwave, it is best cooking with soda, please explain to me how it would be the process.
