Crack cocaine, a crudely freebased form of cocaine was extremely popular in the mid- and late 1980s in a period known as the Crack Epidemic, especially in inner cities, though its popularity declined through the 1990s in the United States. There were major anti-drug campaigns launched in the U.S. to try and cull its popularity, the most popular being a series of ads featuring the slogan "The Thrill Can Kill". However, there has been an increase in popularity within Canada in recent years, where it has been estimated that the drug has become a multi-billion dollar 'industry'.
In the early 1980s, the majority of cocaine being shipped to the United States was coming through the Bahamas. Soon there was a huge glut of cocaine powder in these islands, which caused the price to drop by as much as 80 percent. Faced with dropping prices for their illegal product, drug dealers made a shrewd business decision to convert the powder to "crack," a solid smokeable form of cocaine, that could be sold in smaller quantities, to more people. It was cheap, simple to produce, ready to use, and highly profitable for dealers to develop. As early as 1981, reports of crack were appearing in Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston, and in the Caribbean.

I think it was made by the Portugese and flow here on the backs of Seagulls. The Seagulls then told the secret to black people, who use it as a cure for everyday aches and pains. Gos bless Portugese.
