Crack vs. Powder Cocaine

Federal vs. Wisconsin State Charges

If a person is arrested for or with Cocaine Base, known as "crack", they run a much greater chance of being charged in Federal Court. The reason is the penalties in Federal Court are much, much more severe for "crack".

In the federal system, "crack" is treated 100 times more severe than powder cocaine. In short, that means that if you possess 5 grams of "crack", a conviction would result in the same penalty as if you were in possession of 500 grams of powder cocaine.
