It's a disproportionate sentence, obviously, but of course, the odds that he was really a first time offender are approximately zero. First time caught, maybe. Don't want to go to jail for trafficking? Don't traffic.

Look, the best way to stay out of trouble is to not get into it. If you think weed should be legal, fine, I have no opinion on that. But eventually you're gonna get in trouble because it's not legal. So, choose: no trouble or weed and eventual trouble.
