UK Law Lords Soft on Hard Drugs---
"... £2,000 stash of crack, heroin and cocaine at his home."

Well, well, well: there you go ....
Just when it seemed safer for
The rich & famous to stop
Snorting that 'evil' crack, heroin & cocaine
The UK law turns soft ...

So, next time you buy a TetraPak of milk
Give a thought for the poor man
(an his wife)
Who still earns $1-2m per day in royalties...

But this is the cute bit ...
Seems the rich have their own rule of law...
"Them with the gold rules ..."

OK poor people, these drugs are only 'evil' for poor people ...
So, here's some of "Snow White's" story

Sir Ian Blair said he was 'very surprised' that Hans Kristian Rausing, who is heir to a £5billion fortune, and his wife Eva would escape prosecution. He said the sentence sent out the wrong message about drug use.
A source said that officers advised the Crown Prosecution Service that the billionaire couple should be given only cautions, in accordance with Ministry of Justice guidelines.
Usually, addicts caught with such huge quantities of drugs will face a prison sentence. But according to the source, the guidelines state that the value of drug possessed by an offender should be considered in relation to their own wealth.
In the Rausings' case, £2,000 of drugs is tiny compared to their vast riches. However, the CPS decided to press charges for possession of Class A drugs, but it is understood these were dropped when the defence argued the case.
Sir Ian Blair has criticised the decision to only give the Rausings a caution
Instead, the couple will accept formal cautions and are expected to agree to attend drug rehabilitation programmes. " . . . [emphasis added]
