With cocaine, the addiction can become so strong that an individual becomes literally willing to give up everything else in life for his or her addiction. Families, possessions, careers, faith, self respect, dignity, their freedom and in many cases, their life, it's no wonder to me that cocaine is the greatest threat to this nation since those who become addicted are very devout customers and they constantly need more and more, regardless of the price to be paid."

According to the National Drug Intelligence Center, the data also shows that state and local law enforcement agencies identify powder cocaine or crack as the drug most contributing to violent crimes and property crimes in their areas; 50 percent of violent crimes and 39 percent of property crimes, higher than any other drug, are attributed to the use and abuse of the various forms of cocaine. The agencies ranked cocaine higher than any other drug in nearly every drug threat category.
