Selling 5 kilograms or more of cocaine

That doesn’t make the guy a drug dealer. Does it?

Same source as post #15: "The Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1), distinguishes between "coca leaves," "cocaine, [and] its salts" on the one hand, and "cocaine base" on the other. As originally passed in 1986, the Act mandated the same minimum ten-year sentence for offenses involving either fifty grams of cocaine base or five kilograms of cocaine in other forms. (It was recently amended to raise the trigger to 280 grams of cocaine base.)"

They'll probably describe him as an "undocumented pharmacist".

Puhlease. These are not drug dealers; they are community organizers.
