Mate on drugs

Ok, basically, my mate is on crack cocaine nd she's in a real bad way. She's using all her money to fund her habit and doing other things to pay for her habit. I understand that I am unable to really help her as she is now quite far into her habit and she don't hang around us anymore. Just wanted to know what effects does the drug have on a person. Like for example I heard that it makes you quite horny.
Cheers.
Cheers.

The effects of Crack cocaine can be viewed
Here, and also a good place to look is on Erowid.
It is known to act as a sexual stimulant, as is the regular powder form of Cocaine.
If your friend wants help or is ready to address her problem, you might want to contact the charity Release http://www.release.org.uk/
for advice or get her to make contact with them. They will be able to point her in the direction of local services that can offer help and support.
However I would say again, look after yourself first and foremost. More than perhaps any other drug Crack Cocaine is a nasty business, so be mindful of the circles that your friend is moving in.
Caution rather than suspicion.
Na, I haven't been around her as I haven't seen her for about a couple of months. But I rang my other friend to see what was up with her and she told me what was going down. I hardly know anything about the drug and how it's used so there's no way ill be around the people she's hanging around with - other users and dealers.
Mate said that one of her dealers hid some in her flat and she smoked the whole lot - about £500 worth of stuff, so shes heavily into it.
Well if thats the case I would advise, in the strongest possible terms that you steer well clear.
Thats about as much as I know.
