crack

Crack cocaine, commonly known simply as crack, and also known as rock, is a free base form of cocaine that can be smoked. Crack offers a short, intense high to smokers. The Manual of Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment calls it the most addictive form of cocaine. A crack addict is known as a "crackhead".
Crack first saw widespread use as a recreational drug in primarily impoverished neighborhoods in New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami in late 1984 and 1985; this rapid increase in use and availability was named the "crack epidemic", which began to wane in the 1990s. The use of another highly addictive stimulant drug, crystal meth, ballooned between 1994 and 2004.

    Theres a fine crack, (like a hairline crack) in our Ceramic Wash basin about 6 inches long. Does anyone know if i can fill in this crack with some sort of white glue type adhesive that would be water proof & which would prevent the crack from getting any longer. Any advice would be appreciated. John

    crack in soil pipe

    Hi chaps, Is it possible to repair a crack in a soil pipe - the crack is actually in a collar fitting which has a branch running off to the bath/basin. The crack is fairly major and would take a bit of filling - maybe 5mm across at top. It is PVC by the way cheers, dave
