The compromise also eliminated the five year mandatory minimum sentence for simple possession of five grams of cocaine (about two sugar packets worth)
I'm not up on sentencing, but FIVE YEARS for a little smidge of cocaine???????????? How was that ever considered reasonable?

Crack may be whack, but crackheads make for good comedy. (God bless them and I hope they get the help they need. Truly.)

Maybe the reason for such long jail sentences was because people don't like looking at crackheads. People who use drugs are nasty, f@cked in the head, and generally worthless. I'm all for locking them up, powder or rock form, for life.

Holy hell. Is everything ok? This seems really unlike you (or at least, unlike how you normally post).
