Maybe this is something the states would do a better job at!

These men weren't sent to prison for selling blood pressure or cardiac medicine. To rationalize that more people die from alcohol and tobacco is a moot point. They are legal and what these idiots were selling wasn't either of them. Apples and oranges. Just saying!!

Alcohol and tobacco kill more people each year than ALL illegal drugs combined. Also a fact, a drug is a drug. Why don't we just lock everybody up except for people that don't take ANY drug. There will be one or two people left and you can have the world all to yourself. Just saying! This is not my opinion but fact.

Drug addicts need to feed their habits and don't care how they do it. Stealing, murdering, home invasions,etc. Both these guys were convicted of selling drugs. They sold poison to drug addicts to make money. These are not the kind of people we need in our communities. Greedy,selfish individuals who have no concern for others lives as long as they are making money. They should've stayed in prison where they belong. The world is much safer with them incarcerated for their evil deeds. I’m in agreeance with Bobby C. Drug addicts need to feed their habits and don’t care how they do it.
