Nice to feel sorry for the family, but he should do the time, most people caught dealing it's not thier first time.

I understand why you say that but I know him personally and feel differently about it.

Totally agree with you, did you have a quiet word to him about what he's doing or didn't you know.
I've spoken to a few friends about not carrying drugs or taking drugs over here, they laugh it off.
I wouldn't have anything to do with drugs here knowing where I might end up, while I'm here it's beer and whiskey only., Same as when in Thailand till they changed the laws

That's the rat park experiment.

Again I am not saying drugs are great. They are anything but.

However to blame societies ills on drugs is erroneous. If anything its the other way round.

Prohibition has failed. Time to try something new.

I said that drugs (meth specifically) are harmful to society. And they are.

You are right, drugs are harmful to society. The point is that many people, myself included, feel prohibition makes them even more harmful. They aren't going away and they will never be eradicated. Also they are easily available in abundance everywhere - as well as used repsonsibly in moderation by millions. Plus it generates billions of $.

Time for a rethink.

As I said earlier in the thread, I don't disagree with you. I was just pointing out - in response to another comment about them being harmless - I think the harm to society was being overlooked in the discussion. That really was my only point, I wasn't making any argument for or against the laws around drugs, and I'm not trying to get into any debates about the deep state or CIA.

This guy Matthew Sample... I don't know him and I'm not judging him, maybe he was just trying to provide for his family in difficult times, I don't know. Whatever the reason, he gambled and lost, and the consequences look like they could be severe. It's a hell of a life lesson. The laws - whatever we think about them - are what they are and his situation is what it is.
