You can be sucked into the prison-industrial complex on little more than a whim, and spend a lifetime trying to find relief. It has become insanely easy to prove conspiracy based on mere association and bartered for hearsay.
Drugs are everywhere, from the inner city ghettos to the gated estates of the privileged classes.
One mistake, one moment of unfortunate coincidence, and your loved ones will be gone, locked up for ten years to life. This madness must stop now.
