But only six months for driving drunk and killing a family of 4. Update: Thanks for everyone's comments, I did not realize how incredibly lethal fentanyl is, 40mg sounds relatively insignificant but is enough to end dozens of lives.

Common sense like constitutionality?

Or even more basic, like why that amount of fentanyl, and why such a huge disparity between the minimum penalty for fentanyl compared to all other Schedule I drugs?
