In a series of dramas, key members of American society, law enforcement, and government struggle to define the influence that these drugs have on our culture.
Crack Cocaine, is a series of poems / memoirs about addiction to crack, cocaine, heroin, alcohol, street life and prison. The journey begins at age 12 with dropping out of school and being committed and confined to a mental institution for one year. The NYS Psychiatric Institute, due to violent behavior. Yes, I am certified psychiatric. I escaped twice. It progresses into street life, marijuana, and alcohol. At age 13, I am introduced to heroin injections, alcohol, and theft. Eventually I become a heroin addict and criminal. On my 16th birthday I wake up in a cell on Rikers Island, the worst jail in NYC. At age 18, I am sentenced to 5 years in maximum security prison. I beat someone with a bat. Upon release from Sing Sing Prison, I return to street life, heroin, cocaine, and alcohol. I meet Joey who introduced me to crack cocaine. I become a Crack Head, then homeless and sleep on the street for two years. I become degraded, experience violence, murder, and cocaine psychosis. I have been shot at, chased with knives, brutally beaten, while terrorized by a vicious dog. The guy that beat me up, Tito, he's dead. Shot 3 times in the chest with a 45. I piss on his grave. Fuck him. More than once, I overdosed, was found unconscious. I've been wakened in the night by a stray dog who sniffed me as I slept in garbage. "Fuck the world, I'm bullet proof" was my trademark. I have a Master's Degree in Deception, a PHD in Stealing, a Doctorate in seeing a Hurt Look on my mother's face. I lied I cheated I robbed I stole. I woke up in the morning with no drugs no money, never did I say, "Today I won't get high". I made money and drugs appear out of nowhere. If I had nothing to eat all day and was hungry, and made $20, I bought a bag of chips a quarter water, 50 Cents, total, and spent $19.50 on Crack, a loose Newport, a pint of Night Train wine. In 1986 as I slept on the streets of NYC, in my pocket, a 5 shot 38, a crack pipe, a pen, and paper. I wrote a book of poetry about crack, heroin murder and crime. I wrote poetry about the things I saw. It is titled, Crack Street Victim Lane. I have held on to it dearly. In this book is the cover of it, one of the yellow wrinkled pages in my illustrations. Crack Street Victim Lane, Sam on Crack, Crack Cocaine, is my collection of those poems, complimented by personal addiction memoirs and cartoons. A true story written in graphic content, explicit detail. Joey They found his body in a garbage bag. He played a game, it was not tag. Joey always had a smile. But being sneaky was his style. What a shame, the way he died, inside my mind, I hear his cries. Because of crack, Joey told you lies, owed people money, Joey died. This was murder not a joke. They tortured him, they made him choke. By Samuel Arcelay

For nearly three decades, methadone hydrochloride has been the primary means of treating opiate addiction. Today, about 115,000 people receive such treatment, and thousands more have benefited from it in the past. Even though methadone's effectiveness has been well established, its use remains controversial, a fact reflected by the extensive regulation of its manufacturing, labeling, distribution, and use. The Food and Drug Administration regulates the safety and effectiveness of methadone, as it does for all drugs, and the Drug Enforcement Administration regulates it as a controlled substance. However, methadone is also subjected to a unique additional tier of regulation that prescribes how and under what circumstances it may be used to treat opiate addiction. Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment examines current Department of Health and Human Services standards for narcotic addiction treatment and the regulation of methadone treatment programs pursuant to those standards. The book includes an evaluation of the effect of federal regulations on the provision of methadone treatment services and an exploration of options for modifying the regulations to allow optimal clinical practice. The volume also includes an assessment of alternatives to the existing regulations.
