A flaw is when something is damaged or not right. But a crack is a fracture in the object.

But according to wikipedia flaw is only used in terms of character (I didn't find any other topic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_flaw

And wikipedia also puts crack under fracture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture

Can diamond crack?

Yes, a stone can crack along a flaw in its crystalline structure. ("In the crystal structure of diamond, each carbon atom is linked to four other, equidistant, carbon atoms" from Answers.com - Diamonds.) If a stone has been cut and polished, and the substantive flaw hidden by some enhancement or other, it's possible that the diamond could crack and split. Usually stones with flaws of this severity are not desirable. A certified gemologist can evaluate a diamond before you purchase it to identify any such flaws.

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.

What are the differences in sentencing between crack and cocaine offenses?

The main difference in sentencing between crack and cocaine offenses is that crack offenses typically result in harsher penalties compared to cocaine offenses. This is due to the sentencing disparities that have historically existed between the two substances, with crack being associated with more severe penalties despite being chemically similar to cocaine. However, recent changes in sentencing laws have aimed to reduce these disparities and provide more equitable treatment for individuals convicted of crack offenses.
