Cocaine is one of the most abused drugs in the state of New Yrok. New York city and its surrounding areas, Albany and western New Yrok have all reported alarming amoutns of people abusing cocaine.

Crack cocaine is readily available in economically depressed areas in all major New York cities, along with some suburban and semi-rural areas, and is occasionally a source of violence in upstate cities. Crack cocaine is typically transported in the form of powdered cocaine and coverted into crack by area distributors.

One of the biggest reasons why crack cocaine is so popular and such a heavily abused drug is because it is highly addictive and is relatively cheap. Once the crack is ingested, users will feel extreme euphoria for a few seconds. This is followed by extreme cravings and paranoia. So, despite the fact the drug is so cheap, addicts constantly need more crack to maintain their high.
