Yes, and you could throw in 4 human corpses.  I spoke with Steve
Dillon the other day.  (Dillon is the head of Indiana NORML and
a prominent member of the state Libertarian Party.)  He stated that
a client of his got 30 years for cocaine possession with intent
to deal at about the same time that a guy who blugeoned to death
his girlfriend got 7 years.

So, 1 Kg cocaine = 3 nukes = 4 murders.
