You make an interesting point.

Just my 2 cents, but I think that phrasing may come across as harsh. Keeping things civil is a big part of keeping HN's discussions interesting.

You're right, it was too harsh and I have deleted it. I guess I just get a little upset about drug-policy moralizing from people who, well, can't spell the name of the drug in question. But I still should have been more civil

Again, I appreciate your help in this arena. For context, the story was told in 'dope' form, so I did edit that at least. I have no specific morality with drugs and thought it was so sad to see the product of what we have collectively built, so I was happy to play a small part in righting those wrongs.

And yes, written on a mobile device so not the best proofreading, nor am I a perfect writer (re And).

This is absolutely true. There is nothing else to do. The incarcerated people will always, always find a way to get stuff in.

Shit, I even saw one lawyer bringing in weed for his client. That was fucked up. I wouldn't risk my license for that.

And it probably becomes even more true if there is nothing for the prisoners to do all day except getting high.
