Stop defending drug traffickers

Melody Kemp obviously does not believe in the law. The law states it is an offense to carry marijuana into the country, it is also unlawful to sell it, and unless Corby is a superwoman it cannot be for her own use.

If as Melody says that Corby struggles to make a living, then it is fairly obvious she was carrying it in for someone else (mule) for money.

If, as it seems, she was, then she deserves everything that the law can throw at her. If you get caught breaking the law -- "tough" -- you take the consequences of your actions. I am seriously tired of people defending people who sell, carry or distribute something that results in children becoming addicted to harder drugs at a later date. If a doctor prescribes a drug for medical purposes, fine! But protecting people who do not care about the consequences of what they are doing is pathetic. If a country has the death sentence, then it is your own problem if you are caught, I personally applaud every time someone gets caught.
