ok only differnce is crack is in rock form and is smoked and coke is in powder form and is snorted.(stereotypically) because there are other ways coke and crack can be done.But what I dont understand is if they are the same drugs why is it that Crack is cheap and coke is exspensive and rich people do it and crack is a poor mans drug and another thing why is it that crack seems much much more dangerous and more addictive and it seems like crack heads are in really bad shape while coke heads seem pretty normal most of the time.

Crack is cocaine but they are not the same thing. Crack really isn't cheaper if it is compared weight for weight but it isn't compared that way. After all, users are seeing the price per rock which seems cheapon the face of it. For price comparison studies:

Crack is more addictive due to the route of administration, inhalation. It results in a much more powerful high but it is also very short-lived.
You seem to have a lot of wrong impressions about the effects of cocaine and crack. Cocaine users are not really in any better shape than crack users. Please go here to learn a lot more:
