All Drugs? Marijuana, Asprin, Sugar, or are we talking all illegal drugs? There are people in jail for having small amounts of Marijuana that IMHO should be free. What about the cigarette companies or alcohol companies, should they be jailed? (IMHO more so that the Marijuana dealer, never seen that advertisement.)

Some of these Pimps are WOMEN & just like video hofessionals, SOME of the fingers need to point at the women who chose this profession. Now do these women need to be punished? I feel they need help and education. Choices out of despair are always good choices.
