Teen Faces Life In Prison Over Hash Brownies

Has there been a death or serious overdose by anyone? If none, I think this law is just :crazy: and waste of taxpayers money, really!
 
I don't want any part of executions. Since the People of Texas still doing execution, why would I move and become part of murder? I don't think it will happen.
 
He simple disobey Texas's law where marijuana or any that relation to, is illegal.

Question is.. where did he get hash oil?

Second... is that consider as drug dealer since he sold brownie where other teen would pay for lot of pretty cash.
 
The black market for cannabis products are HUGE, much bigger than you realize, that is why government failed to get it under control. Its already proven fact that prohibition has failed to serve its intention. Same with Booze, trust me, Cannabis WILL be legalize in matter of less than few years, two states already legalized it as of 5 months ago. So far, Colorado is making money, there have no serious crime going on and potential already decreased crimes. These two states (Colorado and Washington) are going to paint the reality in green, rather than red.

Check H.R. 499 Bill on congress floor.

Crime Still Isn't Devouring Denver 4 Months After Legal Pot

Four months after recreational marijuana sales were legalized in Denver, crime still hasn't gone up, according to the city's latest data.

Overall violent crime in Denver for the four-month period that includes January to April fell 5.6 percent from the same period a year earlier. Crime is down in the four main categories of violent crime -- homicide, sexual assault, robbery and aggravated assault. Property crime dropped 11.4 percent from the first four months of 2013.

The crime data stands in stark contrast to statements made by law enforcers in 2012, before Amendment 64 legalized marijuana in Colorado for recreational sale and use. Multiple members of the state's law enforcement community warned legalization would bring bleak and "harmful" consequences. “Expect more crime, more kids using marijuana and pot for sale everywhere," Douglas County Sheriff David Weaver said in a 2012 statement . "I think our entire state will pay the price."

Naturally, correlation does not imply causation with this crime data. And with only four months of legal sales on the books and only about half of all the states' dispensaries licensed to sell, it may be too early to identify trends. But evidence of a crime wave simply has not materialized since legal pot sales began Jan. 1.

What has soared is revenue from legal marijuana sales. Marijuana shops brought in nearly $19 million collectively in March, up nearly one-third from about $14 million in February. Pot shops raked in $14 million during the first month of sales.

Nearly $13 million has been added to state coffers in tax and licensing fees from Colorado's recreational and medical marijuana markets -- $7.3 million of that from recreational marijuana.

Denver's crime statistics during the first four months of retail marijuana reflect findings from a recent report published in the peer-reviewed PLOS ONE journal showing that legalizing medical marijuana causes no increase in crime, and may reduce some violent crime, including homicide.

Currently, 21 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for medical use. Colorado and Washington both legalized recreational marijuana, with Colorado's shops already selling and Washington's expected to begin later this year. About a dozen other states are considering legalizing marijuana in some form.

Yes, I understand about what you means.

Alaska has no death penalty and they are 100% pro-gun rights.

but it is not warmer area. :(

Oh wait, I found one is warmer climate with no death penalty and pro-gun rights: New Mexico. :lol:

It won't easy in Texas because their legislature is too anal with drug laws.

Me?

I would absolutely LOVE to live in Texas.

Their laws make sense because their legislators are not drug addicts, or corrupt officials making $$$ on the drug trade.

You never know about their legislature and there are a lot of covered in politicians, regardless republican or democrat.

DEA failed after 40 years of drug war so what's up?
 
Are you absolutely sure that these legislators are not drug addicts, or even not corrupted officials?

If you look at history on alcohol prohibition, as soon as the law becomes the land of law, these same legislators that passed that law had paid somebody to smuggle booze in capitol building office where these legislators works in. How long after the law become effective, did they wait to get illegal booze?

If you guessed it right, less than 5 minutes!

I would NOT assume these politicians are 100% drug free. Don't fall for this BS, my friend.

You know... if you do something against the law, you risk going to jail. He knew it was against the law and did it anyway. Now he faces jail time. It's not like he didn't know any better. He's an adult and responsible for his own choices. He chose to break the law, whether he, you or I believe it's a stupid law or not, it's still a law that he decided to break. Some people believe that murder is a stupid law... I certainly don't! However, some people do... If they break that law, they have to face the consequences. He broke this law knowingly and now he must face the consequences... plain and simple.
 
just FYI - he hasn't been convicted yet. he's only facing a possibility of 5 years to life. it's pretty obvious that he's not going to face a life... :roll:

alright then, how about if the law for excess speeding have changed drastically to say like, if caught for 160hm/r (100mph) risks a 10 years jail term, then a 90 Mph carries a risk of 7 years jail and a 80mph a 5...would this make you think twice about the fast bike you have and its potential to break 3x legal speed limits of 60mph? (180 mph is well within reach of your bike)...
now, its not like you're trying to kill someone, but potentially you could, (and a lot more easily than getting someone very stoned n marijuana but highly unlikely to get them overdosed on Marijuana (which is proven false, while alcohol can kill)... then the whole perception of whats fun and what dangerous and whats legal and not has become a matter of debate that is carried in a more fluid-civil way which the spectrum of opposites are 'tolerable' unlike debates for jail terms lengths for murder-manslaughter types of crimes....
im not sure what I am trying to ask but it's something like, a what-if question, in a slant where, suppose it so easy to point fingers at other people on matters unrelated to ourselves in a way we have nothing to do with it, but exercise veiled judgement or blind contempt, trained by society's "shared normative dogmatic values"....
like would it make you feel like a criminal, then again if that 'law' was like this in a parallel universe where dope is perceived a bit like how we think of alcohol now and that speeding is a VERY serious crime on the same level of murder, and say another parallel places might have had this law changes took place some 80 years ago while the rise of ashplat road and automobiles being manufactured during the better part of the 20th century......and in that parralel opium was never banned.....

I am asking a question of 'how we MIGHT understand these things would be different to how we *understood it now*


question everything!

Truth be told... even though I have a fast motorcycle... and a "faster-ish" car... I don't speed... I really don't. So, that's really not an issue for me. I'm not really a law breaker. :dunno: If there is a law set in place, I don't go breaking it... including speeding. ESPECIALLY if I knew there was a 10 year sentence attached to it! :laugh2: Seriously.... that's just common sense... I'd be on my best damn behavior if I knew I'd go to jail for 10 years for speeding... Even though there is just a fine and an insurance premium increase for me currently, I still do not speed.
