I am of the same opinion, don't take drugs, however don't see why it is so ridiculously governed. As a mate just said to me, prohibition obviously isn't working, cannot stop dickheads from being dickheads no matter what laws and punishments you lay out.
Agreed with regards to the sentence achieving nothing, more $ wasted on placing a guy in a concrete box. I can imagine all the jerk offs in the FBI slapping dicks thinking they made a difference now.

The guy's lawyer has said they will appeal, so I won't be shocked to see the sentenced reduced at least some. He also said they will ask for a new trial, which isn't uncommon in a case like this.
I agree fully with you about Prohibition. The war on drugs has been a total failure. All we have done is made them more dangerous to get and put a bunch of people who are junkies in jail.
I imagine those involved in catching him were full on jerking each other off lol.
