This is interesting, I didn't know about that. However, I remember a sociology class I took in college. It showed that crack and cocaine fines / jail times were very different from each other (doing crack was legally more Dangerous than doing cocaine). But crack and cocain are pretty much the same thing. The biggest difference is that a few décades ago (I don't know if it's still the case), white people did cocaine and black people did crack. Because crack was cheaper than cocaine. Sad how régulations are made sometimes.
