Scranton & Wilkes-Barre Cocaine Attorney
Cocaine is a highly addictive drug and accounts for billions of dollars in profits each year throughout the United States. It is a stimulant and is abused by over 6 million people over the age of 12. Cocaine is extremely popular as a club drug amongst users that include the rich, middleclass and the poor. However, poor users tend to use crack cocaine which is a cheaper version of actual cocaine. Cocaine is cultivated from the cocoa leaf which was first widely popular for its healing affects. In 1970 cocaine was deemed illegal throughout America due to the Controlled Substances Act.
