Weasel words: "it is said to be the most addictive form of cocaine"

This statement in the introductory paragraph is factually dubious and clearly goes against Wikipedia's "weasel words" policy. It needs to be reworked or removed.

Freebase and crack are not the same thing

Freebase is made with ether. Crack is made with baking soda. Freebase can also be used as verb so you can say you are "freebasing crack". But you would never refer to actual freebase as crack

photo is of poor quality

the picture is awful and doesn't even look like crack. i suggest this one. doesn't even look like crack. i suggest this one.

I agreed, having actually seen what it looks like, I can say the suggested picture is far more accurate.

Error in figure caption

The caption for the Scotland survey says crack was ranked fourth in adverse social effects. As is clear in the figure shown, and in the original article as cited, it was actually ranked third in this metric. The caption should be fixed. 71.197.166.72 (talk) 06:56, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
