Some people do not realize that Cocaine (the snortable kind that was wildly popular and hip in the 1980s – and beyond) is exactly the same psychoactive drug as “crack” that became the urban plague of the 90s (and beyond). Although the snortable form of cocaine is certainly addictive, the smokable crack form is much more addictive. After reading about drug ingestion, brain physiology and chemistry in our current chapters, I want you to venture your educated opinion about why the smokable form of cocaine is so much more addictive than the snortable form. Understanding this effect will teach you many of the essential dynamics of drug ingestion and action that are the learning objectives of this module.
