The main difference bewtween powdered coke and crack is that crack is normally found in low-income areas and minority neighborhoods. Regular powdered cocaine is the drug of the white upper-class. Current federal sentencing laws assign the same penalty to the posession of 5 grams of crack as for the sale of 500 grams of powdered coke. this is blatant discrimination aginst our country's minorities and lower economic class.
Why should powdered coke be legal and crack not be illegal? The only difference is that powdered coke is a hydrochloride salt instead of an unrefined rock.
