Oddball spoke thusly: "It's to keep the police and prisons fully employed"
The FBI found that about 95%+ of all serial murderers were raised by alcoholic parents, and not one by a stoner.
*sniff*sniff*
Wha????

as to the first sentence, that's silly and was clearly intended as something tongue in cheek.
(at least I hope so).
as to the second, you're correct. i've also never seen a stoner in a bar fight. but that speaks to the minimal difference between pot and alcohol.. not crack.
what DOES speak to racism in sentencing is the disparity between sentences for crack cocaine and powder cocaine -- the first being predominantly a drug of choice for poor minorities; the latter being a drug of choice for rich white people.

No, Oddball is profound as usual. Making recreational activity criminal just serves to keep law enforcement fully employed.
But the correct answer is to decriminalize drugs

I think this is rather interesting, alcohol has the same destructive effects on families and health as crack cocaine, sometimes even worse, so why the different treatment?

PART of the reason for the disparity in sentencing is that black people who use crack are usually involved in OTHER criminal activities, while the rich white people on powder are not. If you look at the sentencing for trafficking, well they are about the same regardless of form.

Total bullcrap, these people getting long sentences are getting them for drug possession, not because of other crimes being committed, no different than the white boys who sell white powder, there's no excuse you can make for the sentencing disparity.
Well said.Ask the Democrats in Congress. Better yet, ask the "Black Man in the White House" who is too gutless to make a political statement by commuting the sentence of people serving out extra long sentences for possession of crack cocaine.

you sr are full of shit, I worked in the field for over 10 years, and I can tell you people don't go to prison for simple possession, PERIOD. Those who are in prison are there for carrying major weight, and or breaking other laws.
Show me a single instance of anyone in prison for a simple possession charge.
