People who oppose extreme measures to deter them contribute to its destructive consequences imop That in itself is heinous ! What a load of Macaroni this chart is from 2000! And you believe it? that chart is about as reliable and trustworthy as Thailand is of having open,free and fair elections It doesn't feature Colombia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Mexico and all the countries that produce and distribute this nonsense.

Hard drugs are a federal offense in the US, three of those and you'll spend the rest of your life behind bars. I don't think that's minor. Only in some states. And sure if one gets caught with a ton of white drugs. But getting caught with an ounce? No one gets life for that nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 To harsh for such a small amount. large amounts for the addictive stuff after a fair trial perhaps it’s appropriate .this lady should have been publicly humiliated (flogged) then rehabilitated I know everyone will think that’s barbaric but public humiliation has been used for centuries and is effective.the potential perp will think twice and the offended normal folks get their anger assuaged.the woman would still be alive and possibly achieve sobriety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
