I dont agree with the death penalty. But on this planet, many countries/states would consider this amount trafficking. Its >4g in the state of Georgia, Florida, NC, etc.

That’s 24 bundles of heroin. 1250 doses.

Only if it's 100% pure heroin. If it's typical street-level purity, it's more like 300 doses. Either way, these seem categorically like personal use quantities to me.

How many doses does average user take a day? It seems that for single user for personal use that many doses should last quite a while.

On Disney World* with the Death Penalty, of course

* Gibson's article was "Disneyland with the Death Penalty", but Disney World fitted better with the "planet" theme.
