Recently a townhall meeting was held at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law in Houston TX to investigate the racial disparity in the drug laws regarding crack Vs powder cocaine. In this video we hear from Deborah Vagins, Barry Hargrove and Jasmine Tyler of the Drug Policy Alliance
It is not right for there to be a 100:1 ratio between powder cocaine and crack cocaine. Crack cocaine is just a derivative of powder cocaine if anything it should be vise versa. With 5 Grams of cocaine you can make more then twice of it in freebase form "Crack". Yet if you get arrested with 5 Grams of crack your mandantoru minimum is like having 500 grams of powder Cocaine HCL.

GREAT information. Thanks for all you guys do. The fact that there even needs to be a need for your office and services proves that our nation is STILL fighting issues of racism and class-ism everyday!
