AB  - Cocaine  is  a  natural  alkaloid  derived  from  the  leaves  of  Erythroxylum  coca.  Cocaine  hydrochloride  (powder  cocaine)  is  a  crystalline  white  powder.  “Crack,”  the  free-base  of  cocaine  hydrochloride,  is  an  off-white  substance  named  both  for  its  rock-like  appearance  (“rock”)  and  the  sound  it  makes  when  heated.  “Crack”  may  be  smoked  as  it  vaporizes  when  heated.  Inhalation  of  the  vapor  results  in  rapid  absorption  and  distribution  of  the  cocaine  to  the  brain.
