The former eye surgeon, acquitted of murdering his wife, has been sentenced to 150 hours of community work for drug possession.

I admit I’m not sure what the typical charges are for possessing 37g of meth, but this seems incredibly low.

    I think it’s best not to say it should be a longer sentence because it’s similar to a marijuana one, and rather ask why we prosecute marijuana at all (I know the answer is the referendum, but it’s still dumb).

      I agree, I voted yes to legalize and believe it should be legalized. It wasn’t the best comparison just the the first thing I thought of related to sentences for abuse of the drugs Act.
