Cocaine.
There has been a dramatic rise in the number of adverse medical effects related to cocaine abuse since the widespread introduction of crystallized freebase cocaine or "crack" in the mid-1980s. In particular, cardiovascular and central nervous system toxicity is becoming more widely recognized and requires aggressive medical management to prevent potentially high morbidity and mortality.
