Can crack go bad

QUESTION does cocaine ever go bad?

ANSWER If stored improperly, yes. Cocaine is extremely hydrophilic, and will absorb a noticeable amount of moisture (among other elements) if exposed to open air for more than a few days or a week. If "left out," the cocaine may take on a yellow or brown tint.

To properly store cocaine, seal it in a container after removing as much air as possible, and put this in a cool place (out of sunlight). Silica packets and other methods are sometimes used to remove excess moisture from the surrounding air. Some suggest the refrigerator because it contains extremely dry air.
