Exactly the same way as becoming addicted to anything. It creates a feeling of pleasure. Jogging, gambling, alcohol and other activities or substances can all become the object of addiction. When the desire to feel the pleasure created by these things becomes stronger than the ability to care about the negative consequenses that their abuse may lead toward, then a person is addicted. Jogging, gambling and smoking crack despite the social, psychological, emotional and physical damage is cause for concern. There follows a depression in the chemistry of the brain causing moderate to severe lows in mood that stimulate the idea to continue abusing the activity/substance to acheive the high.

Crack is a smokable form of cocaine hydrochloride. Snorting powdered cocaine delivers the drug through the mucus membranes of the nasal cavities and may take several minutes to to feel the effect of a relatively low dose of the drug. This type of delivery provides a sustained sense of pleasure for approximately 45 minutes after which the addict may decide to take more to continue this high.

Smoking cocaine delivers the drug almost immediately to the brain via the respiratory system and in a relatively high concentration. The pleasure is nearly instantaneous and rarely lasts for more than 2 minutes. This accelerated cycle of dosage, pleasure, and depression is in marked contrast to almost every other mind/mood altering substance or activity. Once a person becomes trapped in this cycle the series of events that lead to negatative consequences is rapid and unavoidable.

Professional help is greatly suggested in all addictions.

I hope your question does not imply a desire to become addicted to crack. Good luck.

you will get addicted the first time you use it. DO NOT USE IT. My 30 year old brother is FIGHTING this addiction, it is ruining his life and those around him. This isn't something to joke about! You can have a heart attack or stroke and die, or just end up paralized from a stroke. Then there's jail, etc etc etc.

just like many stimulants, you need more once you come down
your mood elevators are responding to the new chemical in your body and nervouse system..
therefore once you thought that it was all fun it becomes a dependency, and an addiction.
the high only lasts about 5-10 minutes and it leaves you wanting more.
think of it as cocaine, which crack is made from, your seritonin reacts towared the chemical and give you a sence of euphoria, your neurons are blocked and aint translating the proper emotions and the dependency becomes a emotional builder for you, artifical joy
think about it

It only takes one time smoking it, and the possibility of becomeing addicted is incredible. If you don't mind being dirty, homless, hungry, broke, unemployed, toothless, and crazy, it's a good way to get there.

you get addicted to crack the same way you get addicted to anything else....
you try it out cuz someone told you about it or you heard about it yourself
you try it on your own
you like the feeling it gives you
you like the "high" that you get out of it
you try it again ... just to make sure
you try it again
you try it again
you try it again
you try it again
AND WALLA!!! you have become addicted or "hooked"

be careful some things are not good to be addicted to like money, crack, your best friends boyfriend....

Phychologically, the mind gets addicted to what it really like.

That's a self explanatory question. It's crack. People try it once and get addicted to it because of the high. They can't stop and will try to recapture that high for years and years.

first off, i applaud you. it's rare to see young people these days who are so focused and enterprising.

my recommendation would be:

1. obtain some crack. if you don't have any crack, obtain some cocaine and reduce it w/baking soda as i'm pretty sure this is how crack is made?

2. ingest the crack.

3. lather, rinse, repeat.
