Crack effects:
The form of crack
consumption causes
more intense effects
than with cocaine :
the product arrives
faster to the brain
but its effects are
shorter.
The
characteristic crack
" flash " gives an
intense immediate
euphoric sensation.
It lasts between
five and fifteen
minutes.
Risks
The descent,
extremely brutal, is
accompanied by a
strong need to
retake it
IMMEDIATELY. Crack
causes a physical
exhaustion and can
carry cardiac
problems. It can
also be the origin
of violent
behaviour,
attributed to the
effects over the
brain and the band
phenomenon that
comes with the
traffic.
