Answer by ZaneyJ
Well if ice was nicotine then yes, but since crack and nicotine are nowhere near the same thing, I highly doubt it.

Answer by leafsobsessed
different ones have different effects: here’s an interactive site that tells you more detail http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/addiction/drugs/mouse.html
however, usually, the neurotransmitter (acetylcholine, eg) binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane (on the next cell), opens sodium channels on the membrane of that cell. sodium ions flood in, and the cell depolarizes (excitation) so that spreading activation can occur and the signal from the presynaptic cell is spread to the next one.
