He sold 22 pills to a CI-- he didn't give them to a friend. I'm willing to bet this is not his first time selling-- just hasn't been caught before. Also where did he get the pills?

This is proof that the government has absolutely no concern for the welfare of those accused of a crime, the society that must pay for their punishment, the society that must adapt to the mangled individual that emerges from the government's penal solution, the concept of appropriate and fair punishment weighted for the evil done. If pain medication is so dangerous and evil, it shouldn't be sold legally or otherwise. Obviously, it is not and no amount of dramatic orations by politicians or police that taking 15 years from someone for selling someone else otherwise legal pain relief is appropriate. Yeah, it has the potential to do harm, so does doing 26 mph in a 25 mph school zone when driving a 3000 lb car. Next time you get caught doing that I think we should throw you in for 15 years. You could have killed a kid, you crazy criminal lunatic. What were you thinking? Seventy-seven percent of the People are more afraid of the federal government than they are of terrorists. It's easy to understand why.

Looking at the numerous arrests for other trafficking charges the only drug they seem to be focusing on are the opiates. There have been many cases where someone is charged with cocaine trafficking and the charge is plead down to possession with intent to distribute and they get 6 months in county jail and a couple years probation. Think about it, if you broke your arm 6 months ago and were prescribed vicodin for the pain and your husband or wife hurt themselves and were in pain six months later, if you gave them 2 or 3 pills you theoretically have trafficked drugs and could be locked up for 15 years. Just doesn't make sense to me. I know there has been an increasing problem with the abuse of prescription pain pills but this sentence seems excessive to me.
