who the fuck is buying pure, uncut cocaine on the same street level where crack is found? Why are you trying to avoid the FACT that crack is a concentration of reduced cocaine? If you "understand" the tylonol and moonshine references then you SHOULD be able to understand the outright difference of product regardless of a similar base drug. I take it that this is the "almost" and "essentially" differences you would rather not discuss when looking to cry racism.
Ok dude, calm down. No one is crying racism here? Why the fuck are you and Amanda so defensive? And PWID is not street level not in my area. I don't know where you're from. This is a discussion where I hear your arguments to try to understand your POV and I would hope that you could do the same. I'm not trying to get in a pissing match. Now, maybe I should have said trafficking...but since I live in a small town and that amount is not usually found, I apologize.
I don't think it matters what the "drug of choice" is, if the penalty is the same for everyone then the law is fair. I think if crack gets higher penalties it has to do with it being more addictive, thus more destructive to people's lives.
Understood. Now lets bring crystal meth into the equation....
