No because, as illustrated by MILLIONS of users, alcohol can be enjoyed responsibly. When is the last time you had a little crack with your meal?

Crack is a byproduct of the drug war.

Because of the harsh penalties for large weights of drugs, and the profit margins involved, it makes economic sense for dealers to offer a highly concentrated, highly compact product at a low unit cost with an extremely high profit margin.

If the penalty was the same for possessing a bottle of wine vs. a bottle of white lightning, which would you sell, bottles of wine or sips of white lightning?

Coca Cola used to have a small quantity of cocaine in every bottle, back when it was "the pause that refreshes."

If you introduced crack to people of that time, it would be just as big. People don't buy crack just because if the economics of it. They buy crack because NOTHING else gives them that rush. They would still buy crack over powdered cocaine even if both were legal. Hell, if only powdered cocaine were legal, they'd make their own crack.
