It was a drugs offence. So its a 'victimless' crime, so to speak. I didn't say it was trivial. I guess how you feel about that sort of thing is personal to you.
If the law was 100% successful in relation to drugs offences 100% of the time most of my friends and aquaintences would be behind bars. I guess you must feel that is what would be right...christ there would be no-one left. Prisons haven't got room for all those people who.... sneak one pill into a club etc anyway.
As I already said, I think alot of harsh punishments are imposed mainly for policy reasons, end of story.

Hi Miss C,
I did not know it was drugs and I think the law is an ass in many respects on this issue. However, I doubt your mate was sneaking one or two into a club. I suspect it was more involved than that?? Therefore he took that risk for a few lousy quid knowing it was highly illeagal and I bet he regrets it now? Personal responsibility, he had a choice. For what it's worth, I feel sorry for him as it will be tough as you say.
I know you did not say it was trivial, you made light of it.
I certainly do not agree with locking everyone up as me and most of my friends would be behind bars also! However, if you get caught you have to expect punishment that's all I meant.
As I said no offence intended to you. Don't want this thread to go the way of the mosque!
