You have to watch out for these "hardened Criminals!"

She had "more than an pound and a half"!! Do you realise what she could have done with that Ron? She could have enjoyed a half a weeks salary of a politician for once in her life if she had sold it all at once!

5 years.

That is the reason I posted this article . . . To point out the redundancy of this "pursuit of drug dealer" attitude. The Midwest has a serious opioid problem, with people dropping dead every day. You would think the police would have more to do than to "bust" an old woman (no offense to our older population) for something that has never killed anyone. Congress needs to get going & eliminate all federal regulations against cannabis & hemp. As you pointed out, they are pursuing people that cannot afford to defend themselves.

All the marijuana busts take the media attention off of the legal opiod dealers, i.e. big pharma.

Lol Ron pharma makes cartel look like meals on wheels. Price per kg cocaine: 20,000 oxycodone 1,000,000 let that one sink in.
