After a trial in which he was railroaded, Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, received two life sentences plus 40 years. To suggest the sentence matched the crime is comically tragic. From Paul Rosenberg at freemansperspective.com:
I’ve written about Ross Ulbricht before, but I want as many people as possible to know about this horrible miscarriage of justice.
I’ll be brief, but I want you to have the facts. I think they matter a great deal, not only for getting Ross out of prison – a place he clearly does not belong – but because the administration of justice in America, at least in cases that people in power care about, has been deeply corrupted.
And please understand that I’ve been in and around the US justice system for most of my life, including almost forty years as an expert witness. I’m not writing out of mere passion.
The Crime
Ross Ulbricht started the Silk Road hidden web site. I happen to think it was a worthy commercial adaptation, but you can make up your own mind. The site began as an experiment, selling books and other things, but soon enough became famous for selling peer-reviewed drugs from customer-rated sellers. It was an anonymous eBay, and it brought drug deals out of some very dark, dangerous places and into a modern commercial marketplace. I suspect that it saved numerous lives that way.
Drugs aren’t my cup of tea, but I believe people own their bodies and that peaceful commerce should be left alone. Again you can make up your own mind, but if you think the running such a service should be punishable, please decide what sort of penalty you’d apply to it… because we’ll be coming back to this question.
STRAIGHT LINE LOGIC 
EPIC name h/t RU and it sounds like Dallas Buyer’s Market movie with commie rat McCoungahey.
Big Pharmakeia and Mommygov will decide what you get to put in your system.
Now trust your mechanic and take this shot for the good of the collective, comrade.
What? You thought you own your body?
LMFAO!
