Re: this is your war on drugs

After staking out his house, law enforcement officials found no evidence of him selling drugs to anyone. He simply had possession of an un-prescribed bottle and a record of taking 18,000 pills, which amounted to just over 20 a day personal consumption over a two year period of time - an amount, authorities insisted provided proof that he was a seller. Paey explained that without these pills, he would have been bed bound and in extreme pain. The pills allowed him to lead an almost normal life.
Because of mandatory sentencing laws, the Florida judge was compelled to sentence him for 25 years.

Mandatory sentencing laws are criminal and should be removed from our legal code.
