Crank Reemerges as America's Cheaper Drug Threat
The drug methamphetamine known as crank resurges in the United States as a cheap, easy to produce alternative to cocaine or crack. It can be smoked for long lasting highs and is linked to aggressive, dangerous overdoses. Officials warn it could become the crack problem of the 1990s with rising emergency room visits and more clandestine labs. Prices and production details show a growing market, especially in western states and Southern California.
