a 3 year sentence for anything to do with marijuana is a travesty. he should have been given counselling and other kinds of support, not put in jail.

It's really amazing how brutal and archaic some states' marijuana laws are.

3 years for a pound? :shocked: That's fucking outrageous and more than a travesty; it's an atrocity.

I know someone that got caught with 18lbs in California.

They served 30 days.

My money is they weren't from Compton.

Figured you people would spin it that way.

Let's back up some more. If he had never used pot in the first place he wouldn't have gotten addicted, which caused numerous other issues first before he got arrested for possession of it.

If he never used pot in the first place he would of found something else.

Sorry about your friend, sad story. I wish the system would really try to help these people instead of just taking them out of site.

The system happily helps those that SEEK help. Unfortunately, help cannot be given to those who do not want it, unless it's court mandated.

for the OP.
 
No, it does not. I lost many friends to that system. Many of whom had great potential, and keep in mind these were all kids at the time,around 15-18. Many are dead and many are in prison, because kids that screamed for help were silenced by bad judges and cops that think these kids are trash. These were all A-B students that society looked down on because they were different, so no, they were not helped.

How did they scream for help? By drinking more and stealing cars?
