The world is being shattered by the exploding demand for drugs. Methamphetamine was the major stimulant drug used until the 1980's. Then cocaine became the drug of choice. Both of these stimulants were ingested by swallowing, snorting & injection. Smoking these drugs, although possible, was not preferred until the mid 80's. In 1983 crack cocaine was introduced, quickly reached epidemic status & has not yet peaked. Smokable methamphetamine called crystal meth or ice has reached an epidemic stage in Hawaii & threatens mainland states. These smokable drugs are immensely addictive & dangerous. Crack is available everywhere as is methamphetamine. CRACK, COCAINE, METHAMPHETAMINE & ICE is written by a psychologist who has many years of experience with drug-driven offenders& with drug-abusing clients. The book presents disturbing realities to all readers via dramatic stories & informs both lay & professional readers. It employs careful research into supply, prevention, treatment & law enforcement relating to the war on drugs. In order to gain current knowledge about the possible "ice storm," the author has done careful field research in Hawaii & in California. This is a book every citizen should read! For every parent & treatment-related professional, it comprises a gold mine of information.

One question that anyone who has witnessed addiction up close inevitably asks is, "Why can't they just stop?" For decades the question has confounded addicts, their families, and the doctors and specialists trying to help them. Now it can finally be answered. Thanks to major leaps in the scientific understanding of addiction, an entirely new portrait of this frightening disease has come into focus. The new science tells us that addicts, in part, are unable to quit using drugs or alcohol because chemical changes in their brains prevent them from doing so. In this penetrating look at how addiction works, editors John Hoffman and Susan Froemke (producers of the HBO documentary series ADDICTION) have turned more than two years of research and reporting into a vitally important guide for any family faced with the disease. New imaging technology has enabled scientists to peer inside the addicted brain and observe in real time what craving for drugs and alcohol looks like chemically. It is now possible to literally see the ways that substances like cocaine, heroin, and alcohol alter the brain's "Stop!" and "Go!" decision-making processes. Better scientific understanding has yielded innovations in behavioral therapies, while new medications that can be prescribed by family doctors have been clinically proven to reduce craving in alcoholics and opiate addicts. The result? As Addiction: Why Can't They Just Stop? reports in riveting detail, there is new hope for anyone struggling with addiction. The stories about scientists, doctors, researchers, and families that face addiction gathered in this book testify to the fact that the tide has turned. Yes, recovery remains an imperfect process. It must be tailored to the needs of the individual; it may take years to achieve remission. But, armed with the new science-based understanding of the disease, experts have created treatments that are ever more precise and effective—making recovery a realistic goal for all addicts. The evidence is in. The battle against the addiction epidemic can—and should—be won.

America has a long history of drug panics in which countless social problems have been blamed on the devastating effects of some harmful substance. In the last forty years, such panics have often focused on synthetic or designer drugs, like methamphetamine, PCP, Ecstasy, methcathinone, and rave drugs like ketamine, and GHB. Fear of these substances has provided critical justification for the continuing "war on drugs." Synthetic Panics traces the history of these anti-drug movements, demonstrating that designer chemicals inspire so much fear not because they are uniquely dangerous, but because they bring into focus deeply rooted public concerns about social and cultural upheaval. Jenkins highlights the role of the mass media in spreading anti-drug hysteria and shows how proponents of the war on drugs use synthetic panics to scapegoat society's "others" and exacerbate racial, class, and intergenerational conflict.
