I didn't think it was insensitive and it makes sense when you're summarizing things change a little. It just struck me as a little odd with all the other postings, but your explanation makes sense. Hopefully, this child's situation gets worked out in a way that is good for him. It seems like one of those situations where a kid sees a way to be like the grownups he or she knows.

My intention was not to be insensitive. You're right, they are both cocaine.

I think that difference was made on this site, because WTOP described it as "crack cocaine." Since hysteria over crack cocaine versus "regular" cocaine is part of what has lead to sentencing disparities that have negatively impacted the black community, I was surprised to see the comment on this blog.
