Drugs are, illegal.
This is just enforcing the penalities further.
I see nothing wrong with this personally.
Lets take 'drugs' out of the equation for a second and replace that with 'child porn' is it still a crap law?

Lee, TY For the CD just got it yesterday and forgot to drop you a PM - I really appreciate that...
However I have to strongly disagree with you, this is a horrible law!!
We already have millions of Americans in Prison for drug related offenses and it is NOT changing a damn thing with our drug epidemic. We should be looking at the countries who don't have huge drug problems and look at what they are doing ? Besides the one that cut your head off or imprison you for life for your first possesion charge (some Asian countries), the countries that are doing well have less stuff penalties then America.
The part that is more disturbing to me then anything is how they are grouping pot into the category along with other serious drugs. I smoked pot for YEARS and it did nothing.... nothing even similar to the SMALLEST changes in my life harder drugs caused. I still don't think even the heavy drugs should carry such harsh penalties personally.
We need a major drug reform act, but this is the exact opposite direction of where things should be going. And if you are thinking I think this so I could use again, that's not why.. Legal or not I would be using if I chose to - This is just how I feel about the situation.
