Hooray for the charge, and if found guilty, a prison sentence that will send a sufficient message to drug dealers/sellers; not just on-the-street dealers but all dealers of illicit drugs. Drug usage starts with the dealer/seller.

Don’t know what you are trying to convey, however, the operative word is ILLICIT drugs.
tobacco use might/does cause harm. should all the ‘enablers’ – farmer, manufacturer, retailer – be punished? let’s punish junk food sellers for the real harm they ‘enable’ ?
