What do you propose should be the consequence for selling hard drugs?
I don't know, if you corrupted lives of people, sometimes (or many times) minors, it should get you jail time. The amount of jail time depends, in my country it is not allowed over 25 years so I guess anything above 10 years would be too much. It depends on the frequency and your influence on the business, if you are a drug cartel lord it is different of being a minor ghetto dealer.
I know I usually hate copypasta but I think this is relevant.
Wikipedia Wrote:The incarceration rate in the United States of America is the highest in the world. As of 2009, the incarceration rate was 743 per 100,000 of national population (0.743%).[2] While the United States represents about 5 percent of the world's population, it houses around 25 percent of the world's prisoners.[3][4] Imprisonment of America's 2.3 million prisoners, costing $24,000 per inmate per year, and $5.1 billion in new prison construction, consumes $60.3 billion in budget expenditures.
As of 2014 the high incarceration rates have started to modestly decline, although still remain the highest in the world.[5]
I do not support jail time for sale of drugs unless it is sale or a minor or possibly like serious trafficking (such as saying if you are caught in the possession with intent to sell or selling and you have more than X amount of drugs).
