The Effects of Crack and Cocaine on Crime.

- cocaine is the most used drug at night when causing crime and when someone is ever busted for drugs at night.
- cocaine is a white powder that come from the leaves of a South American Coca plant. It's a powerful stimulant that effects your whole nervous system, and gets very addictive quite quickly. It's inhaled from the nose, which causes a feeling of euphoria (another word for high) by telling something in your brain called dopamine.
- crack is cocaine that has been processed into little tiny rocks that can be smoked. Crack is 10 times for addictive than cocaine because it reaches the brain faster, and the "high" isn't as long. If you're addicted to either one and you just stop using you do get withdrawal symptoms. Such as having trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, depression and anxiety, and craving more crack or cocaine and having the willingness to do anything for it.
- People that do the drug most likely create a violent or non violent crime. Because they have the willingness to do anything for the drug. Which in most cases is way bad.
