This was completely appropriate. Break the same law 4 times, he obviously has a problem with authority or does not have a clue, either way he has proven that he cannot fit in with society...Just because you do not agree with the law does not make it less illegal. Get the law changed, but until then, it is illegal. |

@retcon
Oh, I know. You legalise weed, you legalise smoking weed. they come hand in hand. Can you show me any stats of the most popular type of taking weed? I'll bert it's through smoking. It doesn't matter. It won't happen. |

Insane. A couple of pounds of weed and $1,600? Not exactly Pablo Escobar.
How much will this cost the US taxpayer? OK, maybe it's worth it because of, y'know, winning the war on drugs. |

You are aware that smoking marijuana isn't the only way to take it, right? If not your comment is even more stupid than it looks. |

@kittehdee29- You seem to misunderstand the purpose of rehab. Drug rehab is for people who are addicted to drugs, not for people who like to make their money selling them.
I do agree with the premise though- prison should work to rehabilitate people who go there for economic crimes, the goal being to reduce recidivism. However, in the case of this guy, he should walk free. What he was doing shouldn't be a crime to begin with. |

REHAB. IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM SEND THEM TO REHAB. Seriously, you're gonna give this guy life in prison for being a drug dealer? Send him to rehab where they might actually get to the root of the problem, why he's selling to begin with. |

Marijuana should be legal. If it doesn't significantly hurt others then the government shouldn't be involved. Legalize: prostitution, drugs, gambling, driving without seatbelts, riding without helmets etc.... |

"it is kinda like having masturbating illegal. some people say it's harmless while it's not."
*sigh* it pains me to have to ask this in 2011, but WHY is masturbating harmful? |

it is kinda like having masturbating illegal. some people say it's harmless while it's not. most say they don't partake in it but they do. anyone who says they don't masturbate is lying. |

give him a fine. That way if he doesn't pay he goes to jail. and if he pays he's free and just has less money for pot and learns his lesson

Aside from the legal and constitutional issues,think about this;The moron was caught 4 times.There should be a place for folks like him-maybe not prison-but somewhere for people too stupid to be on their own. |

What did ever happen to the 8th amendment? Regardless of the guys past record, the conviction here is just for marijuana - that's it. Nothing else, and life? That is so wrong. |

This is politics messing with the justice system.
Mandatory sentancing is stupid.
Prohibition is stupid.
Combining the two is moronic. |
