^^Typically yes, but you can highly pure freebase from the crack method too.
Here’s how I do it when I get a hankering...
Cook up impure crack/freebase as normal in a glass vial. Start with high quality fish scale to make things easier. (Usually 3 or 4 to 1 ratio of cocaine to baking soda.) Once cooked, flood the rest of the vial with nearly boiling hot distilled water and stir. Suck off the water with a syringe, avoiding the freebase. Pour in fresh nearly boiling hot water and repeat 2-3 more times.
The freebase will go from a clumpy substance to free flowing crystalline flakes. Once it does this, it’s clean. Pour the whole lot out onto a plate and dry under a fan.
Next how you smoke it is VERY important. It must be smoked in a bulb like meth, no flame should touch it. When flame touches it, pyrolysis takes place and a substance is formed which gives crack it’s nasty effects.
Smoking clean freebase in a bulb is very similar to shooting it up, and seems to lack that nasty fiend for more or the stimmy paranoid shit too.
You’ll want to do more simply because “shit I smoked a few hits last night, and I feel great today, what could it hurt?” Lol and before long you love the shit more than life itself.
It’s all about those hot water washes and subsequent smoking technique.
