Crime is still crime and should be dealt with in a way the matches the punishment to the severity of the crime. Personally, I think a family that creates and pushes a drug that enslaves millions deserves a stiffer penalty than some kid on a corner selling crack to his friends, but that does not fit with the current model of "justice".
