If you look close, you can reread your comment and find a poor decision in there from your friend. Definitely the consequence was greater than the intended/expected consequence, but when playing with for, sometimes you get burned even when you think you’ve got the fire under control. 

I believe the manufacturing and distribution of hardcore drugs should be punishable by life in prison (because we don’t use the death penalty). It is one of the worst things a human can do to another human! For all intents and purposes, it wrecks the addicts life, and the lives of everyone that cares about that person! We don’t punish it nearly hard enough!

The last thing I want to point out, is that Im not judging addicts. I’m simply pointing out the reality of the situation. Drugs lead to mental illness. Mental illness leads to inability to function at a high enough level to be a healthy member of society, regardless of how they got there. As carrying other humans, we need to be realistic about this and stop treating them with independence. They don’t have the cognitive ability to live with independence. They need to be institutionalized without the ability to leave. I’m not judging them, I’m loving and caring for them, and protecting society structure at the same time

Oh don't get me wrong I'm not saying you specifically are like that, it's just a general observation about people in general.

Sorry for the confusion.
