"peddling drugs to willing buyers shouldn't be a crime at all."
that is stupid...so u believe that drug dealers shouldnt go to jail whilst the victims, i.e the users, should go 2 jail for using these drugs?
that's like saying that murderers shuoldnt go 2 jail for killing but rather the victims (of course if they could)..should for being at the wrong place at the wrong time?
"Even the sentences of life for the others was VERY harsh - thats just as bad as death. "
thats EXACTLY why australia has such a huge drug problem compared to other asian countries, which were able to restrict it.. personally, i think a 10 year life sentence is nothing to someone who wishes to make a quick hundreds of thousands of dollars...i think only those big-time dealers and repeat offenders should be given life...
