Yes...Way to go Congress!!
If Billy Jones has 500 grams of cocaine and Donte Jenkins has 500 grams of crack...BOTH will do equal time.
Billy won't get that smack on the wrists like he used to!

No you have it backwards. They're lowering the sentence times for crack not raising them for powder cocaine. Or more specifically they're lowering the comparative crack:powder quantity conversions.
No longer would someone with 5 grams of crack face the same punishment as someone with 500 grams of powder cocaine. Now 5 grams of crack will be treated like 90 grams of powder. Still a disparity but far better.
