  • I am not sure if i am getting this right so correct me if I am wrong..

    Shouldn't 500grams of crack cocaine be less of an offense then 500 grams of cocaine?

    Because the 500 grams of crack cocaine would be less cocaine? It isnt as pure?

  • Logic would dictate that you are correct, but there is no logic, scientific fact or medical data to support this policy whatsoever. It is a scam, we've been duped, the drug lords run both sides of the equation.

    More importantly, how did it become the responsibility of the government to decide for us what we choose to put into our own bodies?
