Argument for legalizing the adult use of cannabis was to stop the harm caused by disproportionate enforcement of drug laws in Black, Latino and other minority communities.

Out of curiosity, what drugs have you done? I rank powder cocaine as a low/medium level drug for addiction potential and effects. It seems like it gets its hooks in as a facilitator for alcoholism.
Crack, while the same drug, is an entirely different experience. If powder cocaine is a roller coaster, crack is like covering the same distance, but shot out of a cannon. Every thing is faster, harder on your body, and a lot more intense. The rush is so big that you immediately feel like you’re in a pretty heavy withdrawal within an hour, and there is no fatigue from a whole night of partying to inform you not to do more.
Maybe the law should pay attention to methods of ingestion and the effect each one has on behavior rather than demonizing a chemical by itself.

I honestly think most people wouldn’t go for crack if power was more accessible and cheaper. Most crack users I’ve met in my life have either gotten there because they were from a place where powder wasn’t available, or because the cost of powder overwhelmed their financial ability.
Crack is a much better revenue source for dealers too, so it is often easier to find than powder cocaine unless you run in wealthier circles.
