I noticed your vote and your name struck me - I was wondering why ...
I read through the whole thing and I also read comments by my friends: @wolfhart , @smylie2005 , @magicalmoonlight - they all have encouraging and kind words for you and I am sure that you deserved them.
My take is, however, rather shocking in some ways - and it is not directly helpful to you and might be controversial.
I believe that the whole "war on drugs" is wrong and misguided and in itself Destructive <<< yup, a capital D as in Devil!
My second comment was that you were an unsuspecting fall guy while the real kingpins are hiding in plain sight - the politicians and possible many corrupt law enforcement people.
I have not proof, but, this whole criminal system for "war against drugs" is no better than the "prohibition" - "war against alcohol".
Yet, the same criminal justice system is turning a blind eye or even protect the mass murderers AKA pro-choice or abortion industry killing millions of unborn babies ...
As I said:

So, IF ANYTHING, do not beat up on yourself. Do what you can and all that you can and consider the suggestions that you have been given and work hard to minimize your punishment, not necessarily for your own sake, but for what you can do, for the good of those around you, and especially your daughter.
All the best!
@freedomshift, your thinking is similar to mine. So many of us forget all the prohibitions that led to catastrophic, unworthy ends. It's ridiculously acceptable to place drugs in dilapidated areas, and lure the poverty-stricken people with lucrative drug-trafficking careers.
