“If I could rule this country by edict the trafficking of certain drugs would have a mandatory death sentence...first offense!”

I would amend that to POSSESSION of certain drugs.
Heroin, fentanyl, so called psychedelics, pain meds WITHOUT a prescription or 50% over prescription amount....cut a pretty wide swath.

And I say this as a pain patient: neuropathy that otc drugs can’t help.

For simple possession of small quantities I'd have,for a first offense,a 10 year suspended sentence.That suspension would be dependent on the person *completing* rehab and then staying out of trouble for the remainder of the 10 years.If they fail to do either thing they serve the original 10 and have another 10 added on.
