Crikey! If I'd been caught with everything that went through my hands as a small scale dealer I'd be screwed. Over ten years it certainly adds up! Kilograms of methamphetamine, thousands of ecstasy tables, tens of thousands of LSD tabs, a few hundred grams of pharmaceutical grade heroin.
Yeah, they don't look favourable upon those sorts of quantities.
Fortunately I only got caught with about five days worth of merchandise.

Still trying to work out how to spin that in to a story worth telling.

People suffer from relative poverty, so that would be pretty bad.

The street dealer is also not likely to get 4 years. That's the point - 40 years was a number picked to illustrate a sentencing discrepancy argument. The fact that a 10x factor seems almost reasonable is the argument.
> a street dealer doesn't have 400 kilos of coke
What do you think Resenberg's prescriptions added up to, by weight? It's probably not fair to compare a street dealer to him.
