You'd be surprised.. Less than an ounce (which is plenty) here is better than getting a DUI.

fricking pitiful. I really think the lawmakers that put those laws on the books and are keeping them there and judges that hand down harsh sentences that are not mandated sentences should be put in jail for a year or two.

And I'm serious. Those assholes have ruined a lot of lives and should be held accountable for it.

The drug czar actually came out recently and said that we can't continue to jail our way out of the drug war; that we'd have to start treating addiction as a disease with proper healthcare. Of course, he said law enforcement would still be key.

But for the sitting drug czar to come out and actually admit that our current system sucks? That says a lot. The tides are turning.

If the FDA applies STRICTLY science to the marijuana re-scheduling request, they'll remove from Class I.

Good on these states for being TOUGH on CRIME! I once knew a guy who injected FOUR marijuanas and then went on a rampage that left six toddlers crippled.

2. Texas. On an annual basis, no state arrests and criminally prosecutes more of its citizens for pot than does Texas. Marijuana arrests comprise over half of allannual arrests in the Lone Star State. It is easy to see why. In 2009, more than 97 percent of all Texas marijuana arrests — over 77,000 people — were for possession only. Those convicted face up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine, even upon a first conviction.

Patricia Marilyn Spottedcow, 25, learned the truth about Oklahoma’s excessive pot penalties the hard way in February when a judge sentenced the mother of four to 12 years in prison for her role in the sale of $39 worth of herb to an undercover informant. Spottedcow’s sentence sparked national media attention – and public outrage – but neither result has led the judge in the case to reconsider the terms of her confinement.

Under Florida law, marijuana possession of 20 grams or less (about two-thirds of an ounce) is a criminal misdemeanor punishable by up to one-year imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. Marijuana possession over 20 grams, as well as the cultivation of even a single pot plant, are defined by law as felony offenses – punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. In recent years, state lawmakers have revisitedthe state’s marijuana penalties – in each case electing to enhance Florida’s already toughest-in-the-nation criminal punishments.

I want to know how we can get the lawmakers and judges put in jail for what I view as criminal behavior for their role in the above laws. I believe it is 1,000 times worse than the acts of the people they are putting in jail for years. Additionally, considering they are doing it to lots of people (77,000 a year in Texas alone), their really is no way to make the lawmakers and judges pay for their acts in an equal manner. Lifetime sentences for all of them starting today would not be equal retribution for the laws and sentences they have imposed over the years. Maybe jailing them, their families, and future generations for a couple of hundred years?

I know. It is sorta a combination of intrusion into people's lives, taking away of individual freedoms (all freedom in some cases) and organized crime through theft.

I really think the lawmakers that still support these type of laws and the judges who impose harsh sentences should be held accountable and jailed. Their actions cause exponentially more harm than the people they are arresting, fining, and jailing.

Not kidding, if I was in charge, I would start throwing them in jail. Actions have consequences.

We're pretty damn relaxed about it actually. The only states it's more relaxed in is one where it is legalized.
