Too bad for all of them that they made an extremely bad choice. I am glad that the intended victim was not injured. I'm sure he was traumatized by the situation and will have lasting emotional affects.
This young woman will now have to pay for her part in the crime and I'm sure it has been devastating for her family. They lost two children because of bad decisions. All around, a horrible outcome as a result of drugs. Marijuana is not a drug without consequences. Thousands of people a year die due to the marijuana trade. Just because it has been legalized doesn't mean it is a good choice.
