    22 years? Yeah that is disheartening.

    There are several states in the South and Midwest that possession of marijuana can land you life in prison. That’s potentially a 70 year sentence for a young adult.

    Yet these jackasses can attempt to overthrow the US Government and install an unelected dictator and the longest sentence we’ve seen yet is only 22 fucking years?

    Yeah it is disheartening to see the hundreds that got off with house arrest, probation, or even at best landed behind bars for only a year or so.

      Can’t believe the sentencing for weed is still so strong. Like who gives a fuck, just legalize the shit already. I think that most of us can agree that alcohol has just as much of not more potential for harm than weed does and that’s legal.
