I thought of this recently. This is a kind of warning about the government.
Krystal Cole was very young when all this started. That girl was in her teens. These type of people get exploited easily after third parties get involved, he he he he he he. She shares some personal responsibility, but is given excessive attention. Skinner used her, Kansas used her, and the government used her. She was a pawn. She was a weak link in Skinners sphere of influence. People are only as strong as the weakest link in their sphere of influence.
Skinner could have made much more money selling harder drugs, if cash was his motive he'd have done this. Skinners past placed him under the governments microscope. This was exacerbated since he lived in Oklahoma. Contrastingly California (Pickards home) had more effective social structures in place buffering Pickard from the national government. The more progressive population, judges, and government employees in California were more likely to look the other way. Tulsa, Oklahoma is the opposite. The government was focused on Skinner and he had his roots in all the wrong places. So Skinner, regardless of his (probably) good intentions his talent and resources was a time bomb when he met Pickard. Skinners honest good intentions were the reason he was the ideal pawn. Skinners honest devotion towards this cause bought Pickards trust. Then all the government did was start pulling the strings they already had attached on Skinner. Skinner was the weak link in Pickards sphere of influence.
The mistake Skinner made was attempting following his lifes work after the government was focused on him and his sphere of influence. Skinner had knowledge, money, talent, and he was passionate about these chemicals. He had all the resources required. These chemicals are unique in the devotion they manifest from their users. Most of the people such as Pickard and Skinner wouldn't have had much of a life without them. Denying another person the life saving opportunity someones risk granted you is morally challenging. Skinner knew about where he was from and the relationship he had with his government and he continued despite this. This was his flaw. After he was near Pickard and the government started manipulating him heavily everything else, including Skinners moral collapse, was inevitable.
Skinner did something terrible and unforgivable, but people ignore how bad governments exploit good people. Skinner should have accepted a life of physical solitude so he could protect these people from his government. Separation from your passion, lifes work, and like minded people is a terrible fate. Some people, not Skinner, choose this solitude and protect people more capable of insuring others the emancipation these chemicals provide. Skinner made the wrong choice.
After this happened many people were knocked down. Another person involved had their business doing very well about this time, boy I wonder why? After Pickard got busted he drove his car out near the shore of a lake. He placed a large uncashed check he had received (the profits from his businesses doings) on the hood of his car. Then he shot himself. Nobody knows why.
Self determination isn't absolute. Powerful governments can exploit and ruin good people for whatever reasons they chose to do it.
