Yeah Peter, Beth's right. It's been around here for 25+ years. Previously, the term freebased cocaine was what it was called, but crack is easier to say.

Whenever I hear the term "Free-based Cocaine" I think of Richard Pryor saying " when you run down the street with your hair on fire....people will get the hell out of your way". Funny
