Holy smoke

Once, I used to think that arresting people that supply cannabis was mean-spirited and harsh. But just because I believe the drug should be a choice, and renders people mellow, doesn't mean that the people supplying it are mellow. These are people who have to plan and evade the law. People who are taking risks. People who are diddling the actual growers out of money, and then extorting more again from their customers. People, who the higher up they are on the ladder, become quite involved in the world of "crime" in general, for a living. I would think that if you supply cannabis on a large scale, that there would be a good chance you supply other drugs also.

I still believe small charges are petty and should be ignored, as I believe cannabis should be legalised. But I can see why the charges get trumped up. Nice hippies taking drugs doesn't mean nice people supplying them. You know what I mean.
