Teen Gets ‘Two Years for One Joint’ Mitchell Lawrence is serving a two year prison sentence for the heinous crime of not only selling pot (Gasp!), but doing it within 1,000 feet of a school (Double Gasp!!). The government will spend close to $100,000 to incarcerate this horrible criminal for a non-violent, victimless act. Meanwhile, your friendly police continue to get away with committing violent crimes against innocent civilians. Apparently the only individuals they “Serve and Protect” are those profiting from the illegality of certain drugs. http://www.shoutwire.com/viewstory/2..._for_One_Joint
that is kinda shit. I mean we have rappiests that get only 10 years, where this kid didn't hurt any one, and he is getting 1/5 of the most hated people in the world.
ya, I know drugs are illegal, but isn't that a bit harsh, and if you look at the info ever since the government started the war on drugs drug use has gone up and up and up and up. I mean why don't they look at the facts, it was better when they weren't illegal! Now, I'm not saying they should be legal, I'm just saying that they are going way to much into this, and one of the main problems is that it is so heavilly enforced, that that is the reason people take drugs, its just stupid...
oh and carpetshark, if you were trying to be funny, you failed, and this isn't the sortof thing you try and be funny about.
I wouldn't consider anything you can smoke such a bad thing. The ones you inhale/inject/swallow are the ones you should get into big trouble for. I don't see what the big deal about a joint is. 1,000 feet isn't exactly right next to the school.
