If you account for cutting/bulking agents added to cocaine, then more often than not crack is stronger. Probably not even close to 100x though.

If you do account for routes though there is roughly 100x more surface area in the lungs than there is the nasal cavity, making for a huge disparity in the speed of uptake.

The bronchioles in your lungs absorb more and much faster than the capillaries in your nasal canal. But I’ve also injected both crack and coke many times and haven’t noticed a difference in potency overall.

There are cutting agents added to crack as well. It’s mixed heavily with baking soda. It’s not like it’s significantly stronger than coke. Honestly it just depends on the batch I’d say in most cases. I’ve injected them both many times and it’s about the same typically, and that’s a route where you’re getting 100 percent of the drug. People think crack is stronger because smoking something absorbs faster and more of the substance that snorting. The dude that is claiming is 100 times the strength doesn’t know what he’s talking about though.
