Mark...I seriously just "lol'd" at work, thanks for the laugh ;) And I'm glad that your SO pro drug! Why don't you take your pro drug attitude and move to Portugal, just a suggestion.

They have only been charged, not convicted, and chances are they will get a slap on the wrist and a few fines with some probation time (depending on their priors).

This kind of trash makes me sick.....

Anyone that has seen the devastation caused to the addicted user of cocaine, meth, heroin, etc., and to their family and friends, would NOT want these drugs legalized. Is Montgomery for real? Man!

ljs64 - the fact that more and more people are getting busted is the first step to justice, it is not a dirty little secret anymore

I'm not for or against legalizing these drugs. What I do have a problem with is that there are other crimes out there (i.e. pedophiles, drunk drivers, etc) that don't get near that type of sentence. Why is that?

It is ludicrous to consider putting these people in prison for 60 years just because they possessed and sold cocaine. Cocaine should be legal. Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001 and their experience has been positive. Now if you are caught with a 10 day supply of your drug or less you face an administrative court, not a criminal court. We can do that here in the USA. A group of 20,000 very serious policemen, prosecutors and attorneys have formed a group to legalize ALL drugs, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://leap.cc ) They see what happened when we legalized alcohol in 1932 as a good example of how drug legalization would work. We can't stop drugs. They're sick of chasing drug users and sending innocent people to prison for decades just because they like to get high. This foolish war on drugs has lasted 37 years and cost us over a TRILLION dollars and we are not an inch closer to stopping drugs. How many millions of Americans are we going to lock up in prison for decades? Legalize ALL drugs now. Mark Montgomery boboberg@nyc.rr.com
