Other editions of book Cocaine Crack and Kids

MORE THAN 15% OF AMERICAN CHILDREN HAVE TRIED COCAINE AT LEAST ONCE. Many of these same kids have also tried crack. Cocaine use by young people is currently on the decline. Some of the decrease in the use of cocaine by youth results from the introduction of crack. Despite the decrease in the use of cocaine by kids, there is an increase in the use of crack by America’s youth culture.Crack is the name given to cocaine processed into a purified form of freebase. Freebase is cocaine that can be smoked. People have been smoking freebase for decades; however, in the past converting the cocaine into freebase required using highly flammable chemicals. Safer ways of converting cocaine into freebase are now available, using home products such as ammonia or baking soda in the conversion process. The result is crack, so called because it makes a crackling sound when smoked. Crack appears as small, white, gray or beige colored rocks or chips.For more than half-a-century, the use of cocaine has grown dramatically and the quantity available for sale in the United States has reached an all-time high. Likewise, the sale and use of cocaine processed into crack has become epidemic.Kids from elementary to high school are exposed to these dangerous drugs, too many of them using one or both at least once.
