The Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Act 1965 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It abolished the death penalty for murder in Great Britain (the death penalty for murder survived in Northern Ireland until 1973). The act replaced the penalty of death with a mandatory sentence of imprisonment for life. In the U.K. citizens may be charged with possessing an illegal substance if they are caught with drugs, whether they’re yours or not. If someone is under 18, the police are allowed to tell your parent, guardian or carer that you’ve been caught with drugs. Your penalty will depend on the class and quantity of drug.

Legalize, regulate and tax recreational drugs in the same manner as alcohol, thereby eliminating drug smuggling

Life in prison if it has been proven that they trafficked for a profit. If the case is they were coerced then the punishment should be more lenient
@9LVZWY41wk1W
Give them a fair trail and give them a punishment based on that. If imprisoned then make it a high level one where they can help help to get sober and better
