Your references support my statements...
"However, evidence exists showing a greater abuse liability, greater propensity for dependence, and more severe consequences when cocaine is smoked (cocaine-base) or injected intravenously (cocaine hydrochloride) compared with intranasal use (cocaine hydrochloride).)."
The fact that the effects are different, even with the "same drug".
> the reason that black communities felt the impact of violent drug crime and white communities didn't is itself a direct effect of the racial power structures involved.
Except no matter where you go in the world, no matter its racial break-down, and no matter what it's history is, the pattern is the same: blacks disproportionately commit violent acts. And when those places are near 100% black, it gets even worse.
> And intravenous or subcutaneous use of crack cocaine and powder cocaine are literally, 100% identical.
We are comparing powder cocaine insufflated with crack smoked and how that impacted black communities.

I wish you'd come out and stated that this was your thesis from the very beginning. I now regret having wasted my time with this conversation.
