Ее считают своей главной книгой миллионы людей во всем мире! Это абсурд

VALERIE'S LAW
Valerie’s Law would strengthen penalties for selling heroin and other drugs and expand the offenses of drug-induced homicide and drug-induced infliction of great bodily harm to include the unlawful delivery of any controlled substances.
