Hey there! Crack/freebase used to be my doc before opiates became my necessary and only choice. However, IIRC, yes you end up with less but much better quality due to the separation of particular cutting agents. That's as far as my knowledge goes. Perhaps one of the chemistry whizzes around here will see this and give you a technical rundown on why some do and some don't. I just remember how much I hated being patient for, yet being grateful I took the time to cook it or recook it after I got it. I still always smoked it but a noticeable difference nonetheless. Enjoy your daydreams! ~ Lissa
