FEDERAL DRUG LAWS ARE OUT OF CONTROL

Two recent news stories on television demonstrate how out of control our 
federal government's policies are.

A guy was sentenced in federal court to 55 years for selling marijuana for 
the first time. He was carrying a gun, and that called for the extra 50 years.

The next story: The Afghan poppy harvest is far better than last year.

A couple of questions: Who's running the show in that country? Where does 
the U.S. government think that poppy product is headed?

I guess the warlords protecting their poppy fields weren't armed. That must 
make it OK.
