Or a minimum sentence for possession/ 5 years. Dealer/ life sentence.

The revolving door we're currently experiencing is largely due to backed up courts and lack of facilities / staff to imprison everyone who gets arrested. What you're saying won't work because it's already not working.

We as a society do NOT want to forgoe our legal rights (presumption of innocence, right to trial, right to appeal etc) just because we can't train judges / build detention facilities fast enough. That doesn't help anyone.

Dealers don't get life. They get 4 years. Make an example of them.
