Like I said previously, an 18 year old selling to a 17 year old would have the same 2 year mandatory minimum as a 52 year old selling to a 10 year old. Someone else commented that they can make exceptions for an 18 year old selling to a 17 year old but with mandatory minimums, you can't. thats why they are called mandatory. in effect it says judges are not doing their jobs, they are being too easy on people so these mandatory minimums are needed.
