In The Beginning — Crack Cocaine

According the most medical research crack cocaine contains roughly 75 to 90% pure cocaine so it’s easy to see why this particular version of cocaine is so addictive. Its effects are practically instantaneous. Why would anyone develop such a highly addictive and dangerous drug? One word — money. Crack cocaine first started to take shape in the United States during the 1970′s quickly rising in popularity and ultimately becoming an epidemic between the mid eighties and the early nineties.

The main reason this highly addictive drug became so popular was because it was easy to make and even easier to buy than its powdered counterpart. This means that just about anybody could afford to buy it. Now take the simple formula of a drug that creates instant addicts and make it so affordable that anyone could buy it and you suddenly have a limitless money maker for those who stand to profit on the illegal drug trade.

A money maker in the range of billions crack became the ”poor man’s drug.”  During the 80s when the country was dealing with an economic recession coupled with the troubles facing many large urban inner cities provided a perfect marketplace to begin its popularity. A popularity that has continued to this day.

At Benchmark Recovery Center, we deal with this addiction every day can see the results this devastating drug has on an individual. Recovery is challenging but not impossible. It takes effort that the dedicated folks at Benchmark Recovery Center put into every resident who comes to our recovery center. IN 1984 Ether and Ammonia was added to change the molecular structure of the combination. Blacks and Latino's would never live so good in N.Y.C. again.
