Reason No. 332 why 'Crack is whack'

Here's another reason why "crack is whack:" longer prison sentences. Get caught with a little rock cocaine (AKA crack) and go to prison for a lot longer than somebody with lots more of the powdery stuff.

Long lambasted by black leaders for the way the stiffer sentence laws for the rock, written in the 1980s, unfairly target people in mostly poor, black communities, politicians haven't exactly lined up to deal with the disparity in sentencing guidelines.

Now, according to this article from the Houston Chronicle, new guidelines might be 'blowing' in the wind.
