Why are cocaine sentences MUCH shorter than crack sentences?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because people who can buy cocaine can afford good lawyers.

People pinched on crack get the public defenders, or the kind of lawyers that post on this site.

I think amphetamines have a pretty harsh sentence as well. I cannot remember if it was as harsh as crack, but I know the sentences were much worse than for cocaine (and amphetamines are something one can legally get).
