PUNISH MORE SEVERELY

I feel that the laws should be changed for people who are selling and
making meth. They should be charged with first-degree murder. It is
the same as if a person was given arsenic, it affects the same as
poison. It destroys the lives of families. Mothers are, in essence,
giving up on their children for a bag of meth. The grandparents and
the foster system are having to raise these children. The mothers who
are using meth during pregnancy are harming and killing their babies.

The people cooking meth, even a first-time offender, should be
charged with first-degree murder and that would help end this
production as a way of getting rich.

I have called the legislators continuously for five months. Even
though they say they will call back, I have yet to receive one.
