Facts on Xanax

"When people start escalating dosages and self-medicating, they can very quickly become addicted and it can be a very dangerous addiction," said drug expert and author Rod Colvin.

Washinton D.C. Mayor Marion Barry has said Xanax was among the drugs he was addicted to a decade ago.

Xanax comes in two forms: 1-mg lavender-colored tablets referred to as "footballs" or "blues" which sell for around $2 and 2-mg white rectangular-shaped pills (nicknamed "bars," "coffins" or "french fries") which go for $5 to $10.

Illegal possesion of Xanax is a felony and carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and a $5,000 fine.
