A 55k fine with a life sentence? Really? It’s gonna cost the state
MUUUUUUUUUCH more than 55,000 to keep this 22 year old locked up for 40-50
years. How retarded is this? Makes me think that for-profit jails are king
in Montana.
Hmm be forced spend the rest of your life in prison because you’re growing
plants. Now that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment.
What the fuck is he still doing in Montana!?!?!?!
A comment on the comparative drug safety:
It is not really that easy to compare drugs on safety. The danger of a
substance is heavily dependent on the dosage, the concentration, the
route/method of administration and the tolerance of the person taking it
(feel free to add one if I missed something).
A lot of times, people will compare one drug under a favorable set of
conditions (i.e. experienced user taking a safe dosage as prescribed) to
another drug under unfavorable conditions. This doesn’t even need to be on
purpose. Some drugs require less in order to have their effect, so if you
compare them to another drug that needs more, then the more potent one
seems more dangerous. Some side effects have different thresholds. You
could have a drug that almost always makes you sick but can never kill you,
and another that rarely kills people and rarely makes them ill. Which is
safer? You need to make some value judgments there.
The real question is what level of danger warrants taking away people’s
freedoms? Marijuana easily passes this test as it causes far more harm to
keep it illegal than to legalize and regulate. The comparison with Adderall
on the other hand is less useful/informative.
Federal . anything over 100 plants .. Most growers wont do over 99 Plants
do to this .. Dumb ass .
First like
USA, best country ever
The problem I have with Ana is she often makes the most redundant points.
I knew someone who smoked weed and he dropped out of school and then broke
into three people’s houses.
People saying marijuana doesn’t change people don’t know what they’re
talking about.
White House: Obama Still Opposed To Marijuana Legalization
Hurry blame the states! Hurry blame the Tea Party! Hurry blame White
people! Hurry, hide that democracy is a hoax – your replaced the Republic
with an oligarchy and their BIG PHARMA can’t make money on legal pot so it
stays illegal so police and prisons can make money on it…..
Liberals HIDE THAT OBAMA IS YOUR ENEMY AND IGNORES YOUR VOTE ON THIS
It’s OK for the government to smuggle in cocaine. Yet when someone who has
marijuana, it’s the end of the world. Fucked up pieces shit in the
government.
TYT are idiots. Weed, cannabis, marijuana whatever you want to call it is a
dangerous and deadly herb which can kill. It is a *DRUG*. DRUGS kill and
have killed many people in the past. Its shameful how our youth is only
interested in harming themselves.
We need a new word for people who are socially conservative and willing to
spend a fortune to enforce their social conservatism. I mean, we have a
word for that, but nobody takes you seriously if you call them a fascist.
The police, judges, and prosecutors in these cases need to be publicly
shamed and called out.
The laws can say any asinine thing you want – but if you enforce an
abhorrent law, instead of using the discretion that you are employed
specifically to use (or else, we WOULDN’T HAVE COURTS, we could just lock
EVERYBODY up) – you’re not following some law where your hands are tied –
you’re an abhorrent person.
Let’s remember that following immoral laws, orders, precedents, etc, can
get you HUNG at nuremberg. (Tired? Probably, but until we don’t have these
problems, it’s not an argument that’s ready for retirement – we may not be
talking about 6 million people – but we are talking about taking someone’s
entire life, because of a plant – and many people)
No ana, there SHOULD NOT be some sort of punishment, or consequence, what
the fuck is wrong with you? There is NOTHING immoral or wrong about growing
all the weed you have a mind to, law and morality are NOT the same thing.
If this guy should have ANY punishment, ana should be in jail just as long,
for her horrible fucking hypocrisy, taking adderal, against the law, and
thinking this guy is doing something wrong.
Religion is a cancer upon our society that must be exterminated for the
betterment of humanity.
All this anti marijauna bs with the government is stemming from the feds
ignorance of the economic benefits, and plus getting a life sentence!!!!!
For growing a plant that’s proven to help people, not everybody tho, he
shouldn’t be punished at all for growing a plant that doesn’t cause major
life threatening like opium or meth or tobacco,etc, the only way this man
is facing life sentence is if the sentencing was done by dumbasses
TYT: Against prohibition
[citation] Unless its guns, prohibition will TOTALLY work on guns.
Why is Ana saying there should be some sort of punishment, when she agrees
it is harmless?
Weed is a dangerous drug!!!!
Oh lord legalize weed already
I’ve had my medical marijuana card in Montana for a few years. I know
several ‘caregivers’ (legal suppliers) so I had no idea that they were
still giving out punishments this stiff here.
Montana has what, 1 million people for the entire state? You would think
they would do anything they could to try to get people to move there.
Weed is awful for you. Are you people stupid? Get that through your heads.
Cigarettes are much healthier and less addictive. Marijuana causes HIV, it
destroy souls, it causes hopeless and incurable insanity, cancer of the
pancreas and liver, schizophrenia, debauchery, violence, suicide, and
depression. These studies have just been concluded at the science lab at
MIT. Tobacco is the safe alternative. Just say NO!
I totally agree with countries like Turkey who jail people for life for pot
possession. Pot is the most dangerous drug ever. It was created by Satan
himself. It’s the devil’s drug, and it should be illegal forever.
301+th view (lulz)
What’s up with BP_life ?
People forget that in Montana, you can get a medical card just as easily as
you can in California. I don’t think he should be prosecuted, but come
on……. just get a medical card and they will leave you alone.
Anna I love you but its called CANNABIS plant !!!! NOT marijuana plant !!
He knew the chance, he ran the gambit and he got caught. Is it silly to get
locked away forever because of a stupid plant? yeah it is. But he put
himself in that situation.
The arrest and the subsequent imprisonment are being done for the purposes
of public safety.
I jusht want to go home and lishten Brittany shpearsh recordsh!
What about the cases that they gave over 2000 infants Adderall.
First comment to have a profile pic.
Hahaha stupid potheads, maybe you could just stop being so obsessed with
weed and live your life? How about wait, take action, and find ways to
legalize it on the national level
If these states don’t want people growing pot then maybe that should
provide the means for these people to move to a legal state. Instead of
paying to keep them in jail $30,000+ per year they could easily solve the
problem and send him out of state where it is legal. But conservative
clowns feel the need to put guys like this in jail for several years at a
cost of more than a million dollars and in thew end this guy is going to
get out of jail and go back to growing his own pot.. Where is the lesson
learned?
Lets see, over 100 plants? Yup, personal use………….. Lets legalize
Meth and Cocaine and Prostitution as well. “Rolls Eyes”.
Don’t throw other drugs under the bus. Every drug has some legitimate use,
and that use should not be impeded by the fact that some people might enjoy
the drug for the wrong reason. The Controlled Substances Act needs to be
erased.
Your forgetting he becomes a skilled worker commodity in jail. That makes
them money. Also, every aspect of his life and any future money he might
have will become available to the powers that be, and control him.
First view
Weed will become legal once Monsanto figures out how to make money from it.
Why is “BP” on the front of all these video titles?
The possible sentence is ridiculous but why do these people insist on
taking such risks?
Good Weed is for Gays anyways
Cenk nailed it: The second weed goes corporate, no more problem.
Yeah, the law is absurd, who grows pot in a state with a life sentence.
Eventually, it will be legal and this guy will get out under some sort of
pardon if he doesn’t kill someone protecting himself in prison.
First
Second
I had a bad experience with weed, so for your own safety stay away from it,
you say its not addictive??? sure…….
Dosent that slave know that his masters told him to not grow that plant? do
what you are told slave and you wont get in trouble.
178 plants… if each plant produces a lb, you do the math… this guy
probably had ar-15s and 70″ tvs lining every wall that wasn’t used for
growing.
Legalize it. Tax it.
