55 years for selling mary jane!
“If he had been an aircraft hijacker, he would have gotten 24 years in prison. If he’s been a terrorist, he would have gotten 20 years in prison. If he was a child rapist, he would have gotten 11 years in prison. And now I’m supposed to give him a 55-year sentence? I mean, that’s just not right...”
said the Federal judge that put a 24 year old man to jail for a 55 year sentence without the possibility of parole.
Here's the story.
https://gma.yahoo.com/former-federal...opstories.html
The judge publicly regrets his decision and discusses it publicly with a reporter. What do you think? Should this fellow be in jail for the vast majority of his life simply because he sold marijuana?

Re: 55 years for selling mary jane!
in a fascist state, individual lives are unimportant; it is corp profits that matter. One must understand that pot smokers have lower incidences of heart problems, cancer, and many other diseases, thus eroding the profits of Big Pharma.

I agree about the government, but I just lost a 43 year old cousin indirectly to C.O.P.D. from years of marijuana and tobacco use. Our lungs never were meant to be a chimney. 55yrs is crazy.

It is indeed crazy but there are some who would defend such sentencing.
I wonder where they are.

Re: 55 years for selling mary jane!
The judge put him away for 55 years but says he doesn't agree with his own sentencing?
It is not "happy birthday Reagan" but "happy birthday Winston Smith".

I think the judge felt like he had no choice because of the laws.
Reagan did have something to do with this, unfortunately.

Re: 55 years for selling mary jane!
pot is a miracle, and has been made anathema to us. Big Pharma simply cannot compete with it, the same way Bid Industry cannot compete with hemp. How hard it was for me to see. You don't have to get high on it--cannabidiol from hemp is legal in all 50 states. Billions of dollars were invested to sway our perceptions here.
