Pre-2010, 50g of crack-cocaine got you a mandatory minimum 10 years in prison.

Post-2010, that threshold was raised to 280g, which resulted in this .... uhhh suspicious drug seizure graph.

@JohnHolbein1 That utterly implausible spike in 280g seizures, each one triggering a 10-year prison sentence? Would it surprise you to find out it disproportionately comprised Black & Hispanic people?
