On one hand, I hate that drugs were being dealt. But on the other, people are going to buy drugs no matter what, and honestly, why should the law tell anyone what they can do to themselves?
Life? Really? Geez.

FREE TWISTED BLACK! I'm no lawyer, but my understanding of conspiracy charges is that you can be charged just for TALKING about doing something illegal. That's B.S. Yeah, I know he actually did sell some blow, at least according to someone willing to snitch on others to reduce his own sentence. But I don't see how conspiracy charges are even constitutional. Even if he did it, nobody deserves life in prison for selling drugs. What a waste.
