Another fine, upstanding, contributing member of society. Pathetic.

This is about the same sentence that's been handed out for rape in the media over the last little while. Someone tell me how this is a just punishment. The government and big pharma push all kinds of drugs but God help us if a normal person does it. The production of all drugs should be controlled and regulated. This is absurd. It's someone elses body, not yours. Stop handing out sentences for this non-sense you're wasting our money.
