- alapoet, on 05/22/2008, -1/+10What a sad injustice! Six years in prison for 18 plants. Unbelievable!
- pentupentropy, on 05/22/2008, -1/+7This is absolute crap. Whatever judge sat this case should be put to death or at least have his sex organs removed so his stupidity can't procreate,
- KillerDM, on 05/22/2008, -1/+7Have we time warped back to the 60s? That is crap. I wonder if there is an appeal happening? Or if he has already gone - and if so, there should be an address to send letters of support to him.
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+6If a cop ever tried to arrest me for pot he better be ready for a gun fight. I've had it with this *****.
- captainwtf, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5The USA is in so much debt that it would be a wise decision to legalize marijuana simply for the taxes they would get from it. We all know that is never going to happen. ***** the war on drugs and ***** anyone who thinks marijuana should be illegal. Some people need to start taking their heads out of their asses.
- NikoKun, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5How absurd can the law get???
18 plants is hardly a grow operation... AT ALL...
At least half of those plants, would probably have turned out to be males and useless, so he'd only end up with 9 plants worth of harvest. Which is little more than personal use quantities, especially if it was for medical purposes. - Amythystnights, on 05/22/2008, -1/+56 years is a little harsh just for growing some plants. But it is illegal. :shrug:
- Minarchian, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5Why does the government have to tax every damned thing we do?
I say that the government needs to just keep their greedy fingers the hell off.
If the government were at its proper size they wouldn't need to tax the way they do. - Zeleniak, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5Taxing it can take a big chunk out of our national debt in the US!
- Zeleniak, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5Then the gov. can just tax it and stop with all this high sentencing and fines! Imagine what the taxing of it would do to our debt!
- SilentSnowball, on 05/22/2008, -1/+5Your drug laws are retarded. Should someone get 6 years for brewing their own beer? It's the same thing in my opinion.
- Uthos, on 05/22/2008, -1/+418 plants and got 6 years! Just amazing!
http://www.uthos.com - TimTaykalo, on 05/22/2008, -1/+4Laws are laws people. Sucks
- m0n0kr0m3, on 05/25/2008, -0/+3Besides the defendant, where is a victim? Who is actually being harmed by this man growing plants? That's what I'd like to know....
- Zeleniak, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3So if I'm adding this right it came out 1 year for every three plants. Keep In mind I WANNA HEAR ALL FEEDBACK even those who think it was right and are against pot too.
- TimTaykalo, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Okay 1 year for three plants is a little high!
- Minarchian, on 05/22/2008, -1/+3Laws that are contrary to our Constitution are not laws at all.
This story didn't say whether he had a jury trial (I presume he didn't since he pleaded guilty) but if he had the jury should have been informed that they can judge the laws, as well as the facts of the case.
The laws against pot are unconstitutional and this "judge" should know this and ruled accordingly. - Zeleniak, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2Was it fare though?
- inactive, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1LAWS != TRUTH
YOU DRONE - inactive, on 05/23/2008, -1/+2***** you
- ZxEfR, on 05/26/2008, -0/+1Oh let's see.....
Big Pharma
Politicians bought off by Big Pharma
Drug cartels
Police
Alcohol Producers
Anyone in a position of "authority"
etc...etc... - ZxEfR, on 05/26/2008, -0/+1Just a "little" harsh huh!?!?!
"But it is illegal. :shrug:" --- Prime example of what's wrong with America. Some people actually believe that since they don't do marijuana that marijuana law has nothing to do with them! They are incapable of understanding that tyranny does apply to them....and when they won't stand up for others there won't be anyone left to stand up for them. - Amythystnights, on 05/22/2008, -1/+2Wow not sure what is a harsher punishment the 6 years or what you gave the Judge!
- ZxEfR, on 05/26/2008, -0/+1Oh....really??? So when a law is enacted stating that blacks are not human.....you are perfectly okay with that......I mean hey it's a LAW after all isn't it.
America is gone thanks to people like you........ - Zeleniak, on 05/22/2008, -1/+1So what do you think would be fare? If I may ask. Do you think he should have been sentenced?
- TimTaykalo, on 05/22/2008, -2/+2Little harsh. The guy was doing his job.
