I pray this happens. America needs to stop eating its young.
At what age do you recommend children start doing drugs?
Way to make a strawman, dude.
And as others have said, this really needs to happen. Doing drugs (and possibly risking personal safety) shouldn't be something that people have to spend the rest of their lives paying for, with both prison time and a criminal record. One of the most extreme cases would be this man, currently serving live in prison with no chance of parol for...possessing 13 sheets of LSD.
And distributing in cold blood one of the most dangerous drugs to others who could harm themselves using it.
I guess his sentence is making him think twice as to whether it was a good idea to put others in danger.
The lethal dose of LSD is far below the psychoactive dose to an extent even lower than for 100%-legal caffeine. We're not talking about cocaine, heroin, meth, or Quaaludes.
LSD is prosecutable by the measure of weight. The dose for prosecution can include inert substances such as paper or sugar that contain the LSD.
Just so you know. It's almost as if someone carrying cocaine in a handbag were charged with possession of the weight of the handbag and its contents (including such objects as lipstick, tissues, combs or brushes, ballpoint pens, etc.) had those added.
Save the draconian sentences for people involved with such monstrous drugs as cocaine, heroin, and meth. Draconian sentences are rightly saved for draconian deeds.
