Hell yeah.
This was one of those situations where one's internal logic made sense, but it still doesn't exclude him from following the law. His reasoning:
--My body my choice
--Pursuit of Happiness
--Drugs taken in private is pursuing happiness, using their own body (If you want to be fair/logically consistent)
But 25-year old DUDE = DISPENSIBLE, DRUGS = BAD, DUDE + DRUGS = LIFETIME IN PRISON lol
He made a dumb choice. Allow some flexibility and give the kid a second chance
Anyway, LII isn't unreasonable
