I think that $10 of crack is a bigger high than $10 of blow. But again, just my opinion I have no objective basis on which to know.

Everything you need to know about Crack

CRACK COCAINE: Unlike freebase cocaine, crack cocaine is not produced with flammable or volatile substances. Instead, the powder is separated in a boiling solution of sodium bicarbonate and water, dried, and cut into "rocks." In comparison, one gram of pure powder will yield 0.89 grams of crack cocaine (Street Drugs). A rock of crack weighs from 0.1-0.5g.
Administration
Crack cocaine is usually smoked in a glass pipe with a bowl that has a fitted mesh screen to suspend the drug (see picture below). Both sides of the bowl are heated with a lighter to vaporize the drug, and the fumes are inhaled by the user. Crack may also be sprinkled in cigarettes and smoked.
Absorption
Because crack fumes are inhaled by the user, the drug infiltrates the large surface area of the lung sacs, requiring only 19 seconds to reach the brain. However, only 30-60% of the dose is absorbed because many of the fumes are lost in the ambient air, and uneven heating can cause inefficient vaporization.
Effects & Dependence
Peak effects from smoking crack appear approximately two minutes after the drug is inhaled. Physiological and psychological effects are sustained for only 30 minutes, in stark contrast to the inhalation method of powder cocaine. Crack also creates more psychological dependence because it is a more pure version of cocaine, and its effects both more intense and felt more quickly.
