Crack takes longer to leave your system than powder?

Seriously. Crack cocaine is composed of powdered cocaine and baking soda in its smokable form.

The answer is NO. Because of the residue left in the lungs, Crack Cocaine will stay in the system much longer in comparison to ingesting nasally.

This answer makes no sense because there is more residue in your lungs from snorting cocaine than what smoke leaves. If you snort cocaine you are introducing the powder directly in your lungs hence more actual residue than what smoke would leave behind I still don't know what the answer to this question really is but the above answer makes absolutely no sense.

I smoke crack almost every day and am given Army drug tests 3-4 times a year. I have passed the test after 72 hours (3 days), but there was a trace amount that didn't meet their criteria for a positive result. The tests that I took at 96 hours (4 days) did not yield a trace amount of the metabolite of cocaine. This was their basic urine drug test. I think that crack is detectable in your system for the same amount of time or even a shorter time than snorting. The person who answered above probably doesn't know what their talking about.
