The road to addiction often follows this process: The soon to be crack addict takes his first hit of crack cocaine. Upon inhalation of this powerful drug, the users body instantly begins the addiction process. The individual's mental and emotional being is soon to follow, but for now just their body suffers from the initial stages of crack cocaine addiction. After the first few times of crack cocaine use, their mind slowly starts the crack cocaine addiction process. This grows stronger and stronger until the addict mentally believes that they cannot live without crack. They are now entangled in a full fledged crack cocaine addiction. Shortly after this occurs, crack takes complete control over their emotions.

Once the individual's emotions have been over ridden by crack cocaine addiction, they no longer feel normal without being intoxicated. When this occurs, they tend to use more crack just to feel normal. In order to get high, they have to take an immense amount of crack cocaine. Their crack cocaine addiction has infiltrated all areas of their life. They can no longer function physically, emotionally, or mentally without smoking crack. This cycle of crack cocaine addiction continues until the individual either quits using crack cocaine or dies.

The above process of crack addiction demonstrates the potential power of this insidious drug. Even though death lurks around the corner, individuals with an addiction to crack continue to use with no regard for their life, or anyone else.

Crack addiction is attributed in part to its short-lived high which causes the user to want another hit almost immediately. Smoking crack delivers large quantities of the drug to the lungs which goes directly to the brain in a concentrated form through the bloodstream, producing effects comparable to intravenous injection.

Addiction to crack has spread out from the cities and into residential communities nation wide. More than three-quarters (32 of 42) of law enforcement, and Pulse Check sources consider crack to be widely available in their communities. In most of these communities, crack continues to be locally processed and distributed. Settings for crack sales include cars, parties, schools, college campuses, raves, and shopping malls. Crack tends to be sold in 0.1 and 0.2 gram rocks which generally cost approximately $10 to $20.

More than 3,000 of those arrested by the DEA for crack related offenses were between the ages of 21 and 30. The DEA made 13,588 cocaine and crack cocaine related arrests during FY 2001, representing 38.8% of the total arrests made by the DEA during that year.
