If you smoke it, yes.
Crack is freebase cocaine. They both metabolize into benzoylecgonine, however when you burn crack, your also releasing methylecgonidine which it is metabolized to ecgonidine.

Is there any proof that babies born to crack-addicted mothers are physically addicted to crack and where can sources on this topic be found?
Mothers who use cocaine or crack cocaine while pregnant put their unborn babies at risk for all kinds of birth defects and health problems. However, a baby CANNOT be born addicted to crack (or regular cocaine), because cocaine (and crack cocaine) are not physically addictive. There is no such thing as a crack-addicted baby.
What was the original purpose for crack cocaine?
Sometime in the late 1970s, somebody figured out that if you boil cocaine with baking soda and other household chemicals, it produces a rock-like substance that burns at a lower temperature than regular cocaine. This substance is "crack." Since crack burns at a lower temperature than regular cocaine, it is easier to smoke. And, since crack is essentially nothing more than diluted cocaine, it can be sold at a cheaper price than regular cocaine. The cheap price is what caused the crack epidemic in the 1980s, as people who normally would not have been able to afford the steep price of a cocaine addiction could now get high every day for cheap. That is, essentially, the reason it was invented: cocaine is expensive. A cheaper form of cocaine garners more customers. For example, say a cocaine dealer has 50 regular customers who buy from him every day, and 200 other customers who only buy from him once a month, because they can't afford to buy cocaine every day. Now, say the dealer starts selling crack cocaine, as well as regular cocaine. Now he has 50 customers who buy cocaine from him every day, and 200 other customers who now buy crack from him every day (instead of buying regular cocaine from him once a month).

What is the difference between chalk and cocaine?
That's easy. Chalk is cheaper. If you are talking about crack there is a HUGE difference. Crack is made of what is left from the process of transform coca leaves in cocaine, the most harmful part, witch is disposable, that's what everybody knows in South America where I came from. Now they mix this very harmful left over with even more harmful ingredients and make the crack, but unfortunately the truth is a taboo in USA, and many think that cocaine and crack ARE THE SAME. There is more about the truth, crack will kill in a period of two years, and will make anyone addicted to it at the very first time, the brain will get hooked right away. Too bad we still hear that cocaine and crack are the same.
