For 3 years in my twenties I was priviledged to work as an Anti-Smuggling Officer for Customs and Excise so this will have coloured my opinions.
Yes, they knew what they were doing. And even though they are just kids that still doesn't stop it from being the illegal importation of a prohibited or restricted item (smuggling of a highly addictive illegal narcotic). Kids in today's Britain are very well aware of the monetary value of drugs and of how they reach our population. I agree with the whole "what were/are the parents thinking/doing" statements.... Tell you what... lets get the parents to serve the jail sentences if we're all so touchy about the girls age!
Possibly an extreme opinion but I don't believe the softly softly approach works.
ps - Cannabis should be restored to Class B
