      <title>Drug Abuse- Crack Cocaine by Nia Matthews</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/nianmatthews92/2xyedo871i49utsy</link>
      <description>Crack reaches the brain in less than 8 seconds and produces a &quot;high&quot; that peaks in 10-15 seconds and lasts only 15 minutes. This &quot;high&quot; is produced because crack tricks the brain into releasing chemicals that produce a false feeling of intense pleasure.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Cocaine, is a powerfully addictive drug, and addiction seems to develop more quickly when the drug is smoked as crack is than snorted as powdered cocaine typically is. In addition to the usual risks associated with cocaine use constricted blood vessels; increased temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure; and risk of cardiac arrest and seizure, crack users may experience acute respiratory problems, including coughing, shortness of breath, and lung trauma and bleeding. Crack cocaine smoking also can cause aggressive and paranoid behavior.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Crack emerged as a drug of abuse in the mid-1980s. It is abused because it produces an immediate high and because it is easy and inexpensive to produce--rendering it readily available and affordable. National Household Survey on Drug Abuse indicate that an estimated 6,222,000 U.S. residents aged 12 and older used crack at least once in their lifetime. 150,000 individuals aged 12 to 17 and 1,003,000 individuals aged 18 to 25 used the drug at least once. Crack cocaine use among high school students is a particular problem. Nearly 4% of high school seniors in the United States used the drug at least once in their lifetime, and more than 1 percent used the drug in the past month, according to the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future Survey.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The U.S. need to change so we can be on the side of recovery. No one country has the right answer, as it may not be possible to have one “right” answer. Despite the ongoing debate, however, perhaps we can all agree that addiction is a public health issue and not a crime – not something to be handled solely by the judicial system. We need more solutions in our arsenal and more resources brought to bear to deal with this growing problem in our homes, on our streets, and in our workplaces.</div>]]></description>
