I thought she handed him a rosary and said "Cuidate," which means "be careful."

She meant "cuidate" more as in "take care of yourself". She pretty much said "Here, I have something for you; a little gift. Take care of yourself, because you are a good person", or something like that. I'm assuming she gave him the pills to make him feel better. Probably some prescription pills.

I just paused the movie and checked it out. They were blue top vials of crack.

Freebase NOT crack, you know the "good stuff".

Crack or freebase, neither is known as being particularly good for your health. Why do you suppose a kindly mother figure is doling this out as a "favor"? What is Ferrara trying to say with this?
Especially since, IIRC, the apartment is adorned with pics of Jesus and angels, as is the cigar box.

Maybe I'm too naive, but I can't believe the old lady hands him some kind of narcotic. That would seem to imply she condones her grandson's "career."
"May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?"

Your naive.
Lots of hispanic dealers have the whole family involved.

Seriously, people simply don't pay attention in movies. They were little vials with crack rocks in them like you said. People are stupid.
