The effects of Crack are similar to those of Cocaine, although since
Crack is smoked, additional risks exist. General effects include
constricted blood vessels and increased temperature, heart rate, and
blood pressure, restlessness, irritability, anxiety, and with long term
use, violence and paranoia are noted. Additional risks of smoking crack
include respiratory problems such as shortness of breath, chest pains,
lung trauma and bleeding. As with cocaine, crack is highly addictive.
Evidence shows that when cocaine and crack are smoked (as opposed to
other methods), there is increased risk of compulsive cocaine-seeking
behavior.Crack Cocaine Addiction

If the government would put a percentage of the war on drug budget towards treatment they would have a much smaller problem to deal with. Quite simple actually, reduce the market and the dealers have less people to sell to. Alcohol Rehab

This is an interesting debate. On the one hand, you have a person who is opposed to many potential life-saving programs that could benefit drug addicts in a number of ways. On the other hand, this person IS a recovering addict, which for my money makes him an outstanding choice to take the office. Who would know better about drugs and addiction than an individual who has

Why are people still using drugs!? What is the fun in all of it? The biggest problem is not who is in charge but what does he do and if his solving the drug problems in America. The country is investing in Drug Rehabs in Washington centers and many others. There is no shame to recover from some addiction, but to be judge for it… it's not humane.

While they are arguing, we are still dealing with this disease which is drug addiction. I am now a recovering addict who has spent the last three weeks in a Christian based drug rehab center. I am still coping with the craving but I am not sure for how long.

I don't think it matters so much who is in charge of the anti drug office as long as he is doing what is right.Drugs are dangerous and they need to be erased once and for all.

although some people might be skeptical about appointing James Ramstad to lead the anti drug office but from my perspective he will be a better choice considering as a former alchoholic.also like to mention that our anti drug organisation has so far failed to give us a positive result when its come to drug controlling & hopefully James Ramstad with his prior knowledge in this particular area will bring us some good news after all.also i agree with franklin that just like every other individual & private organisation has to come forward if we want to see our future generation without drugs.

i dont understand whats fuss about this? to my judgment James Ramstad would be a better choice for to lead the Office of National Drug Control Policy considering as a former alchoholic & now he is recovering from addiction.who could lead anti drug office better then a recovering drug addict.also every individual & private organisation has to come forward to stop this problem just like Narconon Vista Bayis doing for addict people.
