Prosecutor Treats Adderall Like Meth: Is This Justice or Madness?
In a shocking case of prosecutorial overreach, Minnesota prosecutor Bradley Endicott is attempting to punish a man for distributing amphetamine (Adderall) as if he were selling methamphetamine—one of the deadliest drugs known. Let that sink in.
Despite clear evidence that methamphetamine is far more dangerous than amphetamine, the government insists on treating the offense as if it were meth distribution, adding a two-point federal sentencing enhancement—which means two extra years in prison. This is harsher than typical meth dealer sentences!
Let that sink in.
The rationale? Allegedly similar trafficking patterns, and because the amphetamine was imported to avoid contamination. Yet, this twisted logic results in a harsher penalty than for "locally sourced" meth. This is madness.
Methamphetamine devastates lives, causing addiction, brain damage, and violence. Amphetamine, however, is a controlled medication with far less severe consequences. To equate them in sentencing is unscientific and unjust.
This is madness.
The Supreme Court in Kimbrough v. United States has ruled against such unreasonable sentencing. This case challenges the integrity of our justice system. The court must reject this abuse, calculate the sentence based on amphetamine, and remove the enhancement. Justice demands nothing less.
