Again, the current issue with psychedelics is not a debate on Drugs with a capital D. It's rather about the mischaracterization of psychedelics. Because of their mind altering properties, psychedelics are continually conflated with other drugs, simply because we like big umbrellas. The reason they're currently being brought out of prohibition is responsible and compelling research that is demonstrating that their benefits heavily outweigh their harmfulness.
If you want to legalize crack, then responsible and compelling research should probably also do the same.
If you want to pin alcohol against crack when it comes to harmfulness, note that alcohol is also legal and thus more prevalent.

See graph on page 4. Heroin and crack are still illegal, yet already significantly harmful. Let's not assume that legalizing them would keep the standing the same.
