I was browsing the NORML.org state laws to try and see a good state to move to with allitle more lax pot laws than where im at when i clicked on the FEDERAL LAWS. Thats when i read this at the bottom of the page:
"The sentence of death can be carried out on a defendant who has been found guilty of manufacturing, importing or distributing a controlled substance if the act was committed as part of a continuing criminal enterprise – but only if the defendant is (1) the principal administrator, organizer, or leader of the enterprise or is one of several such principal administrators, organizers, or leaders, and (2) the quantity of the controlled substance is 60,000 kilograms or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of marijuana, or 60,000 or more marijuana plants, or the if the enterprise received more than $20 million in gross receipts during any 12-month period of its existence."
I have always thought that you have to kill somebody to get put to death. Can they really kill you if you do the things listed? Also i would like to know how would you get charged with the federal law rather than the state law because they are both different.
