Cocaine and crack are the same drug in different form factors. Those forms factors are tyoically used by different demographics and certainly nudged in that demogtaphic distinction by the CIA and given the excuse to the DEA to selectively enforce policy against racial minorities.
Yes same base, but seen and used by different populations was my point. Rich bros aren't sitting around hitting a crack pipe, they are doing a line off some exploited woman in their orbit (or apparently like Jr just out of the old pocket). And yes the CIA have used drugs as a currency once they realized they could make both illegal for poors and at the same time flood neighborhoods with it. Believe Bush Sr. was into this amongst other "covert" operations.
