No surprise that this is coming from Pittsburgh, all sorts of ridiculous of ridiculous abominations labeled as justice from come from there thanks to Mary Beth Buchanan. One of the other notable cases similar to this is the persecution of Tommy Chong for his financial support of his son's legitimate and legal glass pipe business.
The case should not be prosecutable, but abuse of political/judicial leverage makes things like this possible.
The actual effect of this on anything that could be reasonably categorized as "serious drug problems" is negligible. This isn't interfering with the steady supply of drugs, and it isn't reducing the demand at all, all it is doing is making a public example of a few individuals by stretching a legal term nearly to the point where they can prosecute anyone they want for whatever they want.
