• To what might you attribute the biases and myths about crack cocaine? The biases and myths that I held regarding crack cocaine was that crack cocaine is different and is quite more dangerous as well as effective than powdered cocaine. I did not know the chemical structure of both of these substances. However, after learning, it is the same but the process or form of making crack cocaine was different.
