Physical properties: They are uncited, they seem to be the base only

The physical properties listed (as of 2024-06-21) include melting point, boiling point, and a solubility of 1.8 g/L in water at 22°C, which seems so specific that it should have a citation. It has no citation currently. The MP, BP, and solubility are rather obviously for the base (free base). I was considering adding that explicitly. It is often encountered as the hydrochloride salt, which has a higher melting point (I think) and decomposes rather than boiling. The hydrochloride is also readily soluble in water, a 4% solution (40 mg/mL of the salt) is available as a local anesthetic in the US.

I'm largely asking because I'm curious about the density of the hydrochloride and the density of the base. I cannot find these figures, at least not easily. Fluoborate (talk) 04:20, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Crack cocaine

The article says that "[crack cocaine] passes from the lungs directly to the central nervous system". That doesn't sound right and should be corrected. Jonasbull (talk) 21:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
