Actually I think the debate you're looking for is not Marijuana vs. Cocaine, because that argument is flimsy at best. The reason cocaine is not a schedule I drug is because schedule I drugs have zero accepted medical use for treatment. Cocaine, ironically, does have medical value.

The one that shows racial and class disparities is when you get into the differences in sentences/punishment for Powder vs Crack cocaine. Who buys Crack cocaine? Po (stupid) folk. Who buys powder cocaine? White people, and people that make Crack. So stiffer punishments for possession for crack is kind of silly, considering the average crack user is so bad off already as it is. Punish the slanger, not the user imo.

I remember hearing something about a bill being passed in congress ending the disparity in punishments, but I don't know if it ever made it through.

p.s. yes, drug school.
