What are the effects of taking crack?
• The effects are similar to cocaine (feelings of wellbeing, mental exhilaration and euphoria). The hit is more intense, but quickly fades. The high can last as little as 10 minutes, followed immediately by a coming down period. • Anxiety, paranoia, depression, and often the inability to sleep can occur during a come down period, plus a restless craving for more. This can encourage users to repeat the dose in order to maintain the effect. • Other effects can also include tremors, muscle twitching, rapid pulse, nausea, anxiety, loss of confidence, high blood pressure, cold sweats, and mood changes.
