That is what Stalin and Hitler did to control their population. The US government is one disaster, and one information leak away from enacting "Operation For Your own Good"

lets say 1 year in prison costs $50,000. don't really think i need a pencil for this one, thats $500,000 to keep a woman locked up who sold $31 worth of weed. now even if you forget about the woman's family and the the human side of this story how could you say that this is a sane situation. let her out and buy a half million dollars worth of math tutoring for the ball scratching morons who run this country.
^you must spread around more reputation before giving it to greenmatter again

Marijuana is top U.S. cash crop
Marijuana is top U.S. cash crop
^It is about 15 billion. yet it could add 35 billion to our GNP if we would legalize it. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003482836_marijuana18.html
so at 2500 a pound which is about accurate for national average I would guess still being conservative and that would out it at closer to 47 billion a year. tax 3 cents on the dollar and that is 1.41 billion. 9 cent tax and you have 4.23 billion. that is small tax and a big profit for the government, when will they do math? It wont solve all economic issues but it will be a little help. Not to mention billions saved in enforcement. I would guess it could lead to 7 to 10 billion in tax and revenue saving per year. It will also help empty over crowded prisons and unclog court systems. LOGIC MUST EVENTUALLY PREVAIL!

That article is absolutely full of drug warrior bullshit.
"Spottedcrow was unemployed and without a stable residence when arrested, the report states. The family lost their Oklahoma City home for not paying bills.
“When she needed money … this is the avenue she chose rather than finding legitimate employment,” the report states. “The defendant does not appear remorseful … and she makes justifications for her actions"
She lost her house because there are no jobs, so she does what she has to to feed her kid and keep a roof over their heads, and they say she is not remorseful, and makes justifications for her actions??????????
That pisses me off so bad I want to scream.
The fucking cops/courts should be the ones feeling remorse, and trying to justify their actions(which they can't)
No, act like this woman is a major criminal for trying to provide for her family the best she can.
I swear if the drug war ends in my life time I am going to do everything I can to see the perpetrators of it tried as war criminals.

if we could compile a list of the top drug war generals who could face war crime prosecutiuon who would it be? who are merely the puppets and spokespeople, and who are the players behind the scene who continue to profit off the drug war?

no remorse more than likely means that mrs. spottedcrow walked into court with her head higher than the judge thought it should be. maybe she did not have the ability to "grovel" as much as the judge needed to see that day. 10 years for $31 .... is anyone else having a real problem getting their head around those numbers? it's like my brain is demanding that this fact needs to make some sort of sense on at least one level before it will be accepted. the judge does not seem all that remorseful about the fact that she is nothing more than a gear in a very draconian machine. while i do my best to not EVER wish ill on another person it would be good to see one of the judges kids get caught slangin' the same massive amount of weed and get the same sentence. give the judge some time to reflect maybe. thinking her statements to the press would be somewhat different after that. or not ! just my two cents
Well they sure are in states like texas oklahoma , florida etc ....and actually your right , they are all over still. The additional charge of "possession of a dangerous substance in the presence of a minor" was added .
What dangerous substance ? Marijuana ? No-one has ever died from ingesting pot for one thing or even gotten serious ill ...all hysterical legalese nonsense. These guys are just going after arrests & the courts actions are dispicable handing down that sentence.
The chances of a child injesting MJ over some aerosol cleaner , soap detergent , or nail polish remover is almost nil . And even if they managed to ingest a small amount of weed the effects or threat to their safety would be as non existent as if they ate some blades of grass or leaves off a tree . (prolly more harmful)
** Here's one of California's Top Narcotics Task Force chiefs just got caught stealing & selling Meth, Steroids, Xanex & pot just last week ...a big case.

Its not dangerous because you injest it. Its dangerous because people are robbed, killed, lives are ruined by courts over this stuff.
Knowing that, the system wants to penalize you for putting a child in harms way over a dangerous substance.
Just trying to clarify

Can agree this is the courts thinking TT ...and courts are all about making distinctions which makes their case in wording & statute & any refutation impossible . Hypothetically that it may be true in the "peoples" eye , but what is truer is the reality of children 1000 times more likely to be victims of domestic violence .... alcohol , meth, coccaine as the igniters & not MJ .
Doesn't seem that she was involving herself with those substances at all but all the facts aren't given just that they considered her a great risk for repeat offender status for selling more mj . The reality persists that children raised in the homes of pot smokers are a 1000 times at less risk than where alcohol is concerned . Alcohol related domestic violence & violent crime stats are off the charts ...but don't see them wanting to go back to prohibition?
(Or sending someone to 10yrs in prison for selling moonshine )
The stats for meth are staggering where dometic violence & violent crime stats are in many areas has meth use involved in 90% & above in all extreme violent cases . Her sentence if just for these small amounts of MJ is totally rediculous ...but point is taken.
