      She wasn’t illegal until her lawyer told her to take a plea deal that wouldn’t effect her legal status in the U.S. Then it did change her status. Serving 2 years for smoking pot and then being abducted and throw out of the country is ridiculous. She hurt no one, paid taxes and didn’t do anything wrong in the majority of the U.S.'s opinion. If it were actually a functional Republic, she would have broken no laws in the first place.

        She didn’t smoke pot. She was part of a criminal syndicate that mailed money to marijuana suppliers. It was trafficking, which is illegal in every country.

          So if you mail money to someone for buying a product that the majority of people in a Republic believes should be legal it is called purchasing, not trafficking. You can call many things a criminal syndicate. For example the current government deporting people when the judge ruled they should not be deported. That’s a criminal syndicate.
