What is the primary method of use for Crack cocaine?

Snorting
Injecting
Smoking
Oral consumption

The correct answer is: Smoking

Smoking is the primary method of use for crack cocaine. This method involves inhaling the fumes created when crack is heated, which allows the drug to reach the brain almost instantly, producing rapid and intense effects. When smoked, crack cocaine delivers a quick euphoric high, which is a significant reason for its high potential for addiction. Other methods of consumption, such as snorting, injecting, or oral consumption, still exist but are less common for crack cocaine. Snorting typically refers to the use of powdered forms of cocaine, while injecting is more frequently associated with opioid use. Oral consumption, although possible, does not produce the immediate and intense effects sought by crack users. This makes smoking the preferred and most effective method for those seeking the drug's effects.
