Faced with dropping prices for their illegal product, made a decision to convert the powder to 'crack', a solid smokeable form of cocaine, that could be sold in smaller quantities, to more people. It was cheap, simple to produce, ready to use, and highly profitable for to develop. As early as 1981, reports of crack were appearing in, Miami, and in the. Initially, crack had higher purity than street powder. Around 1984, powder cocaine was available on the street at an average of 55 percent purity for $100 per gram (equivalent to $230 in 2016), and crack was sold at average purity levels of 80-plus percent for the same price.
In some major cities, such as Los Angeles, and, one dosage unit of crack could be obtained for as little as $2.50 (equivalent to $5.76 in 2016). According to the 1985–1986 National Narcotics Intelligence Consumers Committee Report, crack was available in, and. In 1985, -related hospital rose by 12 percent, from 23,500 to 26,300.
In 1986, these incidents increased 110 percent, from 26,300 to 55,200. Between 1984 and 1987, cocaine incidents increased to 94,000. By 1987, crack was reported to be available in the and all but four states in the United States. Some have cited the crack 'epidemic' as an example of a, noting that the explosion in use and of the drug actually occurred after the media coverage of the drug as an 'epidemic'. Dark Alliance series journalist sparked national controversy with his 1996 series which alleged that the influx of Nicaraguan cocaine started and significantly fueled the 1980s crack epidemic.
Investigating the lives and connections of Los Angeles crack dealers, and Norwin Meneses, Webb alleged that profits from these crack sales were funneled to the CIA-supported Contras. Although Webb never claimed that the CIA directly aided drug dealers, it echoed the Kerry Committee conclusion that the CIA was aware of large shipments of cocaine into the U.S. By Contra personnel. The rejected that there was a 'systematic effort by the CIA to protect the drug trafficking activities of the Contras'. The DOJ/OIG reported: 'We found that Blandon and Meneses were plainly major drug traffickers who enriched themselves at the expense of countless drug users and the communities in which these drug users lived, just like other drug dealers of their magnitude. They also contributed some money to the Contra cause.
But we did not find that their activities were the cause of the crack epidemic in Los Angeles, much less in the United States as a whole, or that they were a significant source of support for the Contras.' Impact by region Using an index that combined indicators like crack cocaine related deaths and medical emergencies, arrests and seizures, and media coverage, researchers and Kevin M. Murphy found that the drug's worst impact was on the and, headed by New York and Maryland. 70% of the impact of crack was felt in large cities, and the rates per capita were 10 times higher in larger cities than in the rest of the nation.
During the time period studied, cities with the worst crack problems were Newark, Philadelphia, New York, Oakland, Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle. Other cities that rank high include New Orleans, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. Crime Between 1984 and 1989, the homicide rate for black males aged 14 to 17 more than doubled, and the homicide rate for black males aged 18 to 24 increased nearly as much. During this period, the black community also experienced a 20–100% increase in fetal death rates, low birth-weight babies, weapons arrests, and the number of children in foster care. In 1996, approximately 60% of inmates incarcerated in the US were sentenced on drug charges. The United States remains the largest overall consumer of narcotics in the world as of 2014.
The reasons for these increases in crime were mostly because distribution for the drug to the end-user occurred mainly in low-income neighborhoods. This gave many inner-city residents the opportunity to move up the 'economic ladder' in a drug market that allowed dealers to charge a low minimum price. The basic reason for the rise of crack was economic, though social, non-pecuniary contributing factors have been suggested.
Crack cocaine use and distribution became popular in cities that were in a state of social and economic chaos such as Los Angeles and Atlanta. 'As a result of the low-skill levels and minimal initial resource outlay required to sell crack, systemic violence flourished as a growing army of young, enthusiastic inner-city crack sellers attempt to defend their economic investment.' Once the drug became embedded in the particular communities, the economic environment that was best suited for its survival caused further social disintegration within that city. An environment that was based on violence and deceit was an avenue for the crack dealers to protect their economic interests.
Sentencing disparities In 1986, the U.S. Congress passed laws that created a 100 to 1 sentencing disparity for the possession or trafficking of when compared to penalties for trafficking of, which had been widely criticized as discriminatory against minorities, mostly blacks, who were more likely to use crack than powder cocaine. This 100:1 ratio had been required under federal law since 1986. Persons convicted in federal court of possession of 5 grams of crack cocaine received a of 5 years in federal prison. On the other hand, possession of 500 grams of powder cocaine carries the same sentence.

What could be better than a hospital nurse banging the pharmacist because she's addicted to pharmaceuticals, which from time to time are artistically made into a montage of pills flying through the in sky all shapes, sizes, and colors while she's passed out on the floor.

Great actors, cinematography and direction. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, Barry Pepper, Anna Paquin, Rosario Dawson, round out the cast. An intense trippy drug scene with Anna Paquin on ecstasy dancing and flirting with her HS teacher (PhillipSHoffman) is amazing. Booze runs throughout the film like a neverending waterfall. And of course heroin is mentioned but not used. Excellent storyline nonetheless and another view of the drug world and the story of a man born in America with potential and where he ends up. Witty, intellectual, sad, yet hopeful.
