    And in no way am I denying it. I thought it was imperative to mention the type of drug alongside the dose since heroin has a lower minimum amount you can be caught with and still walk away. She wouldn’t have been executed for 31 grams of weed.

    I merely added info from the article that was missing on the OP’s comment, I don’t necessarily agree with SG’s laws.
