wrong actually, it is stronger, and more concentrated
the reason it became popular because small amounts could be sold which would be quick to use on the street as a hit, and also popular because dealers could carry around tiny chips of crack without detection and be able to dispose of them or hide them quickly
so the old expensive way to buy coke was in gram form, which was less efficient, not as potent and addictive
with crack, a person could buy 1/10th of a gram and smoke it in a pipe in an alley or something, the high was quick and extreme
of course crystal meth then became popular and used those advantages to take it to another level still, being even more addictive and affordable
