[Vision2020] It's Time for an Honest Conversation About Marijuana . . .

[Moscow Cares]

Mr. Dredge -

Do you have ANY idea of the negligible amount of marijuana sold for $30 in 210 amounts to?

Let me give you an idea.

In 1977 in San Francisco an ounce of Columbian sold for $50-$60.  That was FORTY-THREE YEARS prior to this 30-dollar "sale".

And for THAT, this lady was sentenced to twelve years in prison.

Meanwhile San Diego Mayor Filner walks away from sexually assaulting thirteen women after FIVE DAYS OF THERAPY.

God bless America . . . . . . please.

Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .

She sold a bag of marijuana which I'm guessing would be a much worse offense than merely being in possession of it.  12 years for all of her combined crimes is too much in my amateur opinion.  The 2 years she served is probably too much.  On the upside, while incarcerated she completed her GED and took parenting classes and participated in a few other programs that were offered.  Hopefully she's come out of this experience as more functional person.

I'm not sure of the laws, but if this is the case, then marijuana should be moved into some lesser category.  Even so, dealing it should carry a heavier penalty than possessing it.
