"He gave him the mandatory minimum of 10," Sandusky's attorney Roger Diamond said. "I tried to get the judge to go below the minimum by arguing the sentence would be unconstitutional. That's all."
If he wasn't caught high while driving. If he wasn't caught selling it to a child. If no one can testify how he harmed them with his marijuana. He doesn't deserve one day in prison.
Who is Joe Rogan? How do I know he is credible enough to even watch? I dont just watch and believe every person who is on utube. do you?
I don't know who he is and I am not watching. to the OP; like many drugs, pot can have long term affects on our body and can lead to more dangerous drugs. Is it worst than alcohol? Probably not, but we don't anymore legal drugs to put in our body.
To those who say, no one should go to prison for smoking pot: I agree, most agree, but how many people do you think are really in prison for doing nothing other than smoking a joint now and then?
And I agree with you, crestliner, when are people going to wise up and stop believing UTube? Anyone can make Utube video to push an agenda.

you can go to jail without even smoking, just the mere possession is against the law.
There are plenty of people in prison for possession.
Thank you! If a person is going to be unproductive, it's not because of marijuana. People smoke everyday and live very productive and successful lives. It's not the marijuana, it's the individual person who is unproductive and lazy.

Well as I understand this man was completely compliant with CA state. It was a legal bus, above board in CA. It was the Feds that had other ideas. That is why I am saying state laws may mean nothing if the Fed can come in and do that sort of thing.

It's not about the messenger, it's about the message. I didn't even know who he was but I watched the video and looked up if his statements were accurate and they were! It's about the facts, and it's a fact that alcohol and tobacco kill hundreds of thousands of people every year, and marijuana has never caused a single death directly to the use of it.
From what I have read, it is illegal because of a lie told to a Congressional Committee.
The head of the AMA was supposed to testify before the Committee, and planned to lay out the medicinal uses of marijuana, but he couldn't make it to the hearing, so one of his underlings took his place. The underling was extremely anti-marijuana, so he testified that there were NO medicinal uses for the stuff.
The committee believed him, and also believed all the other naysayers, doomsayers and "You MUST do it FOR THE CHILDREN!" advocates, and made it illegal.
They also totally destroyed the hemp industry. Hemp rope and cordage was great stuff!
The ratio of vagueness to the number of words in this allegation is stunning.
Instead of prison for profit, it was prison for race in some departments.
Well I don't doubt that because (from what I remember) a lot of the law was due to hatred of Mexicans. But how many regular users end up in prison versus jail for possession instead of intent to sell or actual dealing?
My understanding is the criminalization of simple possession has been going down not up. In other words it's still illegal but you're not going to jail for it. Actually I didn't know my state is pretty much alone in the South for this. Has N.C. turned progressive?
Whoever thinks marijuana should not be legal, please go watch the video in the link below. WATCH THE VIDEO. If you still think marijuana should be illegal, please return to this thread and state your case.
It's sickening that there are laws against growing PLANTS and consuming them. Unless the plants are poisonous or GMO, there's absolutely no reason why people shouldn't grow any damned plants they wish.
