Hi Distraught - smoking crack causes a very quick, intense initial high which dissipates quite quickly, unlike some other drugs where the affects last much longer. Most crack users don't stop with a single ingestion and crave repeated hits to maintain the high. Many users end up on binges that last from hours to days until they "crash". Users can become very agitated and paranoid on binges, but are generally okay once the binge is over and they have been able to sleep. As far as I know it affects men and women in the same way. Hope this helps, and I hope you are not in a dangerous situation tonight.
