Teen Faces Life In Prison Over Hash Brownies

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!

I just Google "hash oil and found some to buy for $95 it's was a small bottle .
 
This sounds like a DA trying to make a name for him/herself. I've met several people who work in the DA office and the one thing I came away thinking about them is they were lacking in common sense. I don't know if they ever had it or if law school stripped it away but in either case they no longer had it. Unfortunately, the vast majority police officers I have known also were lacking the same thing, so this kid is going to pay for there lack of common sense with a potentially life sentence. If they had any common sense they would realize that a pound and a half of hash oil would of made more brownies than he could of fit in his oven.
 
About right, really the price is based on weight and potency. Hash oil has much higher THC content than the weeds that most smoker uses. However there is NO known amount that would cause overdose. Anyone can take as much as they can, they will pass out but will live. It will be nasty for inexperienced users. It is really about one's tolerance, there is no standard like alcohol has, .05% BAC is considered impaired, but with cannabis, no one knows really.

That is very common, the more they prosecutes criminals, makes them look more attractive at election day. Hence, its political. Often, they do more harm than good.

Other problem with using the entire weight of the pan of brownies is that if you use the entire weight of one and a half pounds as a measure than you would have just a pan of hash oil and therefore no brownies. Like I said they have no common sense, and thank god they went into law because I wouldn't like to see them in medicine, they would be amputating arms and legs that were broken rather than casting them!

Hash oil is easy to make, it just a tad dangerous do it slowly....but its nOTHING like Meth-making <that is 20X more dangerous and HIGHLY TOXIC
 
Right, hence why H.R. 499 is now on floor.

I don't think he will get 20 years sentence, but it is the maximum the sentence he could get.
