As the butane torch flame vaporized the cocaine in the bowl of a glass-smoking pipe,

Amir Vik-Kiv inhaled deeply,held the smoke in his expanded chest, and then exhaled in a
breathless rush. Suddenly, his eyes bulged and his hands trembled. Beads of sweat broke
out on his forehead, and perspiration stains formed under his arms. Moments earlier, in
what has become one the most bizarre rituals in the annals of drug abuse, Vik-Kiv, a 38-
year-old former television cameraman, had "cooked" a gram of cocaine in the kitchen of
his Northeast Washington apartment. Refining the powder with a simple recipe of water
and baking soda, he had reduced the substance to a potent, insidious form known as
"crack." Within an hour he had "burned" about $100 worth of the drug, but what had
happened in his brain just seven seconds after taking the first hit was more like an
explosion. Although he had not eaten food in a day or had sex in months, he was no
longer hungry for either. "This is good," Vik-Kiv said, licking his lips for whatever
esidual drug had collected on them. "Not the best I've ever had, but satisfying." What
would happen when the dope ran out was another story, and before long Vik-Kiv would
be crawling around the kitchen floor, searching for bits of cocaine that might have
spilled. When he found anything white, he would smoke it -- and gag at the taste of what
could have been anything from a burning breadcrumb to a smoldering roach egg. Long
after the cocaine was gone, Vik-Kiv continued to heat his empty pipe. This sort of
compulsive action is, relatively speaking, the lighter side of a gathering scourge. Cocaine
abuse has become a major health problem here, with freebasing or smoking crack one of
the leading causes of drug-related emergency room admissions. (Milloy, 1986. P.1).
