As a former chemist in the pharmaceutical industry I was well aware of the crack cocaine sentencing differential.

Fact is, crack cocaine is only 10% cocaine. If you want to be logical, then it should take ten times more crack to be a felony quantity.

However, the war on some drugs is anything but logical. It mainly has been a tool that allowed the feral government to acquire a monopoly on health care.

You can make the argument that, were it not for the war on some drugs, Obamacare could never have happened.

So thanks for that.

Being a former drunk (and a ‘good’ one at that) even I realized when ‘they’ proclaimed drug and/or alcohol abuse to be ‘illnesses’ rather than ‘choice’ that it was going to lead to no good.
Yes, it spawned health care programs and guess you will find a lot of ‘stressed out druggies/alkies that worked maybe 1/3 (if lucky) of their productive years on SS Disability....

Then ‘they’ have the nerve to wonder why we are weeweed off, again the legitimate SS drawers are being portrayed as the leeches (after ‘contributing’ 40-50+ years) and the leeches are being portrayed as the deserving...

BIZZARO WORLD.......
