LOCK THEM UP

Governments are always looking for solutions to problems. They seldom
try to affect the cause. Sure, we need resources to help those foolish
enough to take these drugs, however we are not doing enough to stop
the flow of these drugs.

I seldom hear about a really stiff sentence for someone convicted of
selling these drugs. I mean stiff. A year or two is not a deterrent.
How about 25 to life for producing, importing or selling the stuff?

The bleeding hearts will say it is too stiff a penalty until their
child is a statistic.
