I'm not sure if I would go that far in my description of Thompson but you're right about his situation.
This is not someone who is broke and needs to steal or deal to fund a drug habit. He clearly has money and so you have to ask yourself why would he bother?
If the amounts quoted are correct he is potentially in deep deep s****. The quoted 33 grams of meth amphetamine is way over the level set where the charge changes from possession to trafficking (3.0 grams). The 130 odds grams of ecstasy is anything up to 300 to 400 tablets and depending on the level active ingredient will be way over the limit as well.
Sure its not major league but you are talking potential serious jail time - possibly up to several years.
So it begs the question again why would you bother if you didn't have to?

That's not condoning his actions or saying he's I'll.
But depression is nasty, having gone through it. So you just don't know the what and the why of the situation.
I just wonder if the pitchfork carriers found out their son or daughter was in the same boat if they would be just as harsh on them?
Or would they do everything in their power to keep their kid out of jail?
