From US Attorney Roscoe Howard and DOJ:
"Higher penalties for crack offenses appropriately reflect the greater harm posed by crack cocaine. We recognize that cocaine base -- crack -- and cocaine hydrochloride -- cocaine powder -- are chemically similar. Nonetheless, there are significant differences in the predominate manner the two substances are ingests and marketed. Based on these differences and the resulting harms to society, crack cocaine is an especially dangerous drug. Its traffickers should be subject to significantly higher penalties than traffickers of like amounts of cocaine powder."
