Well as long as the prison system rehabilitated them they should be fine.

So many drug offenders get life.

Guy sexually molests 4 year old girl, gets 5 years, out in 2-3 years on probation. They rarely get life in prison.

The government has a weird, sick obsession with drug offenders. Yet, no problem letting a child molester out in a few years.

I have a hunch that the recidivism rate for pedophiles is much higher than drug offender, i.e., pedophiles are more likely to re-offend.

Yup, nothing wrong with the legal system.  :-\ :-\

I hope obama pardoned this man:

http://truthinmedia.com/exclusive-war-veteran-with-ptsd-faces-life-in-prison-for-pot-his-wife-calls-for-help/

Under Oklahoma's harsh marijuana prohibition laws, 100% disabled US Marine Corps veteran Kristoffer Lewandowski, who served three tours of duty overseas including stints in Iraq and Afghanistan, is reportedly facing up to life in prison for growing under an ounce of marijuana in his home in an effort to treat his PTSD and wean himself off of pharmaceutical drugs. His wife spoke exclusively to Truth in Media about their family's ordeal.

The only logical reason for this, and letting pedophiles, rapists and murderers off with lesser sentence is some sort of mind control and political agenda.

My dealer friend got caught growing weed numerous of times, maybe a dozen times. Each time he just got  few hundred dollar fine and the cops took the plant and the growing equipments. Americas drug laws are ridiculous.

I remember when Arnold left his position as governor of California. He set a killer loose. And there was an uproar by the victim's parents.

Prison system is big biz and would not be surprised to find politicians invested in the aforementioned along with rehab facilities. :-\

So if they go out and shoot up a place, he can blame it on the gun and not the convict...

Some kid from my high school got charged and convicted of 250 counts of child porn on his computer--children below 5 years of age. Dude got like a year, and let out in 6 months with good behavior. Yet, people who get caught with some drug items are doing a few years.  ??? ???
