Come on, now are now beyond the sympathy stage. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Ten years into the toxic drug trade I could care less. We have laws against public consumption of alcohol, jay walking, keeping tigers and cobras at home or playing russian roulette in the streets. If people have not figured out the darwinian consequences of the illegal toxic drug consumption then they really have made their choices clear to society.
