Toss the 3 in prison and the taxpayer pays millions over the years.
Just like they have since the war on drugs has always done
And the supply of drugs is always there.
Prohibition is a faiure

Was is it that women generally reach such lesser sentences that their male counterparts? I understand she may have taken a plea deal, but when there isn’t one it still seems to be the case.

Drug use generally (pot cocaine ) is done by adults by choice not affecting anyone else.

I disagree,

Jim
Drug use generally (pot cocaine ) is done by adults by choice not affecting anyone else.
Sure people could drive, just as they can with alcohol.
Crime as you cite is done by one person robbing , shooting ,stealing from another.
By one party NOT choosing to participate.
So the comparison falls short.
Drugs are terrible. Nothing good comes out of it , Even pot.
BUT this I know ,, drug laws generally punish poor people and dont stop the usage,make cartels killing machines.
See prohibition
I dont use drugs and will take a urine hair test ,etc.

@Chris – Laws don’t prevent criminals from committing crimes, and aren’t necessarily enacted for that reason. They tend to stop law-abiding citizens from criminal behavior, and, more importantly, define criminal acts and assign guidelines for restitution and/or punishment. Hence, several dirtbag drug-dealers will be off the streets for quite a while.
I applaud the Law Enforcement team for their successful investigation and prosecution.

I know how to stop drug use. Make strict laws against usage.
Oh wait…
