I agree. Question though -- for what drugs? Class 1? 3? I think a graduated scale is needed without quuestion, and for more harsh violations, there should be a X strikes and you get a year. More harsh, 5 or 10 years. For the most severe violations -- lifetime could be applicable.
But it needs to be clear cut. I don't want contamination issues coming into play, sabotage, etc. There will always be exceptions.
