He should have gotten life.
There is a way to deal with drug addicts. Bring back the chain gang and put them to work in the fields, send the illegals packing.
This is a sensible alternative to our imprisoning drug users.

Our rehab doesn't work. Users get out and immediately start using again. It just doesn't last long enough. Two years of physical labor is a much more realistic timeframe.
He should have gotten life.
Two consenting adults engaging in activity that does not harm another and does not involve taking what doesn't belong to them...and you want to lock them up for life?
Wow.

LIFE ?
We're talking Marijuana, not heroin, not crack cocaine, or Meth... but a plant. A plant that I would love to garden in my own back yard, or at least be able to purchase just as one would cigarettes (which is WAY deadlier than pot btw) or alcohol.
It's not some man made synthetic bs...it's weed.

It would serve as an excellent example to others.

Marijuana-laced food sickened eight students at George Washington Carver Middle School in South Los Angeles on Thursday, authorities said.
The students became ill after eating a "brownie-type dessert" that was possibly laced with marijuana, said Erik Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
What's this about only being used by consenting adults? It's not true so why mention it.

There was a time when poisoners were called witches because they made potions that sickened people. They were burned at the stake. It's time to bring that back.

Poppies are a plant too - that is where opium and heroin comes from Cocao is also a plant that they make cocaine and crack-cocaine from. Just because it has a natural source doesn't mean it should be used.
Marijuana doesn't 'tweak' you out like meth and cocaine, it's far safer and of much more benefit to those who medicinally need it, and WAY safer than drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes for those who just want to hang out and goof off...
I highly' recommend the book "I Should Robbed A Bank" by Hugh Yonn to those for and against legalization.
The man served FIVE years for a marijuana offense, while others, such as armed bank robbers, came and went..some in for no more than twenty months.
It's insane that he had to sit FIVE years, yet other offenders such as child molestors, rapists, murderers and other criminals roam free after just short stay.
I personally know of someone who is about to get released after sitting only five months for child molestation...WTF?
That little girl will be scarred for life, yet he gets to go free to do it again???
I guess busting folks with weed and keeping them incarcerated is much more important than keeping a disgusting pig of a man off the street and away from little girls.
It's possible to ferret out the truth. Yonn wasn't merely some user caught with a joint. He was a trafficker and a smuggler. Smuggling drugs and selling them is hardly a victimless crime.
Shockingly enough, he paid off his IRS using the proceeds of his drug sales and the debt was deemed satisifed when it should have been reinstated with penalties and interest since he paid the debt with the proceeds of criminal activity.
Try again, this guy is a criminal under any circumstances.
Shoulda Robbed a Bank, a novel by Hugh Yonn - Portland cannabis | Examiner.com
In spite of the seemingly logical content of your commentary there is no record anywhere in the annals of medical science of marijuana having caused a single death or pathology. Not one.I think there are legitimate arguments to be made in support of this proposition, but the alleged medical benefits of Marijuana and its analogy to tobacco are not among them. First, the active ingredients in MJ are already legally obtainable with a Doctor's prescription. Secondly, tobacco is legal only because of its historically widespread usage. If it was introduced today, it would never receive FDA approval. In the absence of any credible medical studies to the contrary, it must be assumed that the same harmful effects of ingesting carbonized tobacco particles would be realized by ingesting carbonized MJ particles into your lungs.
That being said, society should have the ability to evaluate its laws based on a cost-benefit analysis. Whether the costs of exposing more children to marijuana and trying to enforce impaired driving laws are outweighed by the benefits of lower drug enforcement and incarceration expenses is an open question. As with the death penalty, practical considerations may trump moral imperatives. What say you?
Using opium, heroin, etc., requires laboratory processing to alter the chemical properties and derive the narcotic. No such processing is required to enjoy the benign, tranquilizing euphoria of naturally occurring cannabis sativa (marijuana).Poppies are a plant too - that is where opium and heroin comes from Cocao is also a plant that they make cocaine and crack-cocaine from. Just because it has a natural source doesn't mean it should be used.
Do we really need another such drug in our lives?

The above is typical of the kind of rationalized nonsense put forth by narcs to justify their wholly redundant and counterproductive existence.[...]
Yes, pot is less dangerous to the individual than other drugs - including alcohol but it is more dangerous to a society because of its effects on short term memory and the lethargy and supression of physical activity that it causes. While it is not addictive it can be habitual for those who are susceptible to it.
The big difference between it (pot) and alcohol is that you can readily identify someone under the influence of alcohol but not so pot. Someone can be putting you at risk on the roads, workplace or even in your own home and you have no way to defend against it. Pot rarely causes agression or even personality changes other than lethargy and silliness but it does affect the persons ability to make reasonable choices.
There are many things we don't need in our lives but which we choose to enjoy -- such as excess calories. And when the lies and the nonsense is eliminated from the marijuana debate the fact which remains is the most negative element in the marijuana issue is the effect its prohibition has imposed on the recreational use of this relatively benign plant.Do we really need another such drug in our lives?
Opium is the secretions from the seed pod and is used without futher refining - it is addictive and deadly. Cocoa leaves are used as they come off the plant - again addictive. The refinement process makes them more potent and a lot easier to distribute but it is simple to make leaves into cocaine and tar into heroine. Thats why they are so prevalent - easy to get, make and distribute.

Decriminalize it, YES! but legalize it? I really doubt that is a good idea.
One of the negative effects of marijuana prohibition has been the obscurity its illegal status has endured. If this benign tranquilizer had not been so wrongly demonized its recreational and therapeutic uses would by now be well refined and carefully regulated.He should have gotten life.

How about we evaluate laws based on the idea of liberty and individual freedom? If I'm not hurting another nor taking what doesn't belong to me, why are we even talking about a law?
What a consenting adult chooses to put in his own body is nobody else's business.
So true. We don't really have a drug problem. It's that the culture is so degenerate that so many people must be high just to get through the day. Although the people killed in accidents where the perpetrator might disagree with how harmless pot is. Pot is a symptom like alcoholism. If all the addictions were added up more than half the population suffers from some kind of depravity.
I have been thinking along these lines, perhaps too much.
Most of the advertising supports values that are not beneficial to society. Reinforced in almost everything offered on TV.
What about that 'little problem'?
I won't wait on the government to solve that problem for me---individual choice is faster. jmo.

A better question might be why is it illegal? Prohibition failed but Pot is still illegal. The libertarians rightly hate it.
I think the question might be best answered by following the money. For a couple generations pot has been a substitute drug for tobacco. Should pot be legal the substitution of pot for tobacco would accelerate as they would now be on equal footing.
Tobacco is grown in the south while Pot is largely grown in the west. To me the illegalization of Pot while tobacco is legal is a clear violation of article IX of the constitution which states that
"No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one State over those of another ..."
To me the illegalization of pot is a federal violation of the constitution. Pot is a clear substitute for tobacco. The federal government regulates pot in such a manner as to provide preference for those southern states selling tobacco over the western states selling pot.

One area where the pot = tobacco argument has an issue is with impairment. I dont mind some trucker huffing down a pack of marlboro reds when on the interstate, but I would not want to be driving near someone stoned driving the same rig.

Actually as a stimulate cigarettes could make the said truck driver more irritable and aggressive as a driver. The case can easily be made that a truck driver under the influence of marijuana would be a more safe driver than one using Pot. Of course levels of dose would come into play.
But no matter which is safer regulating while operating a vehicle wouldn't affect section IX but the current prohibition seems to be a clear violation. My guess is most criminal defense attorneys slept through their constitutional law classes. Hopefully the State of Colorado will sue the government on these grounds.
