Abstract
Crack use has grown to epidemic proportions. Primary care physicians who are aware of its ravaging consequences may more readily identify crack-abusing patients and provide more timely and appropriate therapy. Drs Hannan and Adler discuss the medical and social implications of crack abuse and review immediate management of cocaine toxicity.Keywords
