'Cocaine' and 'Crack'Cocaine is the drug extracted from the leaves of the coca plant. It is a potent brain stimulant and one of the most powerfully addictive drugs.
Cocaine is distributed on the street in two main forms: cocaine hydrochloride is a white crystalline powder that can be snorted or dissolved in water and injected; and "crack" is cocaine hydrochloride that has been processed with ammonia or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water into a freebase cocaine. These chips, chunks, or rocks can be smoked.

'Never never'

'Well, I gave up sugar and I gave up spice'
The old nursery rhyme, possibly originally by Robert Southey, says that little girls are made of 'Sugar and Spice and all things nice' whilst little boys are made of 'snips and snails and puppy-dogs' tails'!
