Although most Americans have never seen — up close and in person — cocaine (or any other illegal drug), the media has provided, on a daily basis, all they need to know. When President Bush himself showed them a bag of crack on TV, the public's concern-turned-hysteria provided unquestioning support for intensifying the war on drugs.

Respiratory damage caused by crack cocaine may predispose drug users to infectivity.
