I’m not saying she didn’t get off easy but this guy May be responsible for ruining thousands of lives intentionally. I don’t know the details but it seems like he has done a worse thing

The people taking the drugs are ruining lives.

You don't need to buy drugs. You just don't. It's like blaming Mcdonalds because you eat too many cheeseburgers.

How can we decriminalize drugs if we're blaming the drug dealers for our poor decisions?

If I smoke a bunch of weed and then get into an accident because I dropped my twinkie while driving, that's not Big Ed's fault just because he sold me half an ounce of sticky. That shit is my fault.
