This all to often is the process of crack cocaine addiction: the soon to be crack addict takes his first hit of crack cocaine. Upon inhalation of this powerful drug the users body instantly begins the addiction process. The individual's mental and emotional being is soon to follow, but for now just their body suffers from the initials stages of crack cocaine addiction. After the first few times of crack cocaine use their mind slowly starts the crack cocaine addiction process. This grows stronger and stronger until the addict mentally believes that they cannot live without crack. They now are entangled in a full fledged crack cocaine addiction. Shortly after this occurs crack takes complete control over their emotions.

Once the individual's emotions have been over ridden by crack cocaine addiction they no longer feel normal without being intoxicated. When this occurs they feel the need to use more crack just to feel normal. In order to get high they have to take an immense amount of crack cocaine. Their crack cocaine addiction has infiltrated all areas of their life. They can no longer function physically, emotionally, or mentally without smoking crack. This cycle of crack cocaine addiction continues until the individual either quits using crack cocaine or dies.

Crack tends to be sold in 0.1 and 0.2 gram rocks which generally cost approximately $10 and $20.
