No, smoking cocaine (aka cocaine hydrochloride) does not do much unless you first chemically "free the base" (aka crack cocaine).

Fun fact, "free base" is the origin of the of the term "based".

Originally it was not a good thing.

Language changes, so now based is fucking rad. And rad is not a term used by anyone.
