Me and a few people entered into a deal to sell weed out of state. Unbeknownst to me, I was being watched by the feds for 9 months. Phone monitored, calls recorded, online activity watched, ... My partners went down with me but couldn't accept the fact that THEY fucked up just as much as me

I had 15 lbs - I got 3 years.
My partners had 35 lbs - they got 8 months.
