Crack is far more dangerous and deadly, and should therefore have stiffer penalties. These race-obsessed arguments for the equalization of penalties is politically correct garbage. That said, a better solution is to decriminalize these drugs and treat drug addiction as a health care issue, not a criminal issue.
I hear you on the better solution. Meanwhile, I don’t see the necessity in having unequal penalties. It’s not like the penalties are working, anyway.
This is a state issue, not a federal one.
They should reduce the mandatory minimum, which causes over-crowding of prisons. We have have rapist and murderers serving less time for crimes.
Just end drug prohibition.
The entire war on drugs is one big fraud and those behind it are the ones that should go to jail.
