To those posting that states have legalized it, that is not true they have decriminalized it big diffrence it is a federal offense and as long as it is Federal law trumps state law doesnt matter if you have a medical marijuana card or any other nonsense you can and will go to federal prison If thats what they want

I'm not sure about this. In California, if you have a medical marijuana card, you can have marijuana FedEx'd to you from the marijuana store. I know of one instance where a California resident had 8 ounces delivered to him from the local pot shop.

It is illegal to sell marijuana in California if you are not licensed to sell pot. It is also illegal to smoke marijuana if you don't have the medical marijuana card in California. That said, the law enforcement seems to look the other way in California.
 
Yea but the Obama admin issued a directive stating that the federal government will follow suit with state laws, however the feds could still arrest you for marijuana in any state. If there was ever a law that was simple or made sense they would repeal it and replace it with something ambiguous to give some attorney's some work.
Hopefully they have good attorneys and a lenient Federal prosecutor
 
You guys seem to be REALLY REALLY trying to give these guys the benefit of the doubt. While I try to have some sympathy for anyone whose life is on the wrong track this discussion should not be simply about the legalization of marijuana.

The report that JAM posted mentioned both cocaine and oxycodone. These are both very serious drugs (playing the role of Mr. Obvious here) and this appears to be a very serious crime. Sounds like the only good thing that may have come of this is no lives were lost.

What's important to remember about this is that it was a 2-year investigation. It is not as if somebody was pulled over on the road and got busted. In essence, the conspiracy charges will weigh just as heavily as the actual charges of possession and distribution. Getting indicted on Federal charges is quite different than the State. What frightens me the most about the way these charges read is the RICO statue. And RICO most definitely is a game-changer.

The TV show "Justified" is a modern-day drama about Harlan County, Kentucky. "Justified" portrayal Harlan is an embellishment but is generally well-accepted among Harlan Countians as an entertaining work of fiction. In the series, a local family headed by Mags Bennett (Margo Martindale), who won an Emmy as Best Supporting Actress, oversees a large marijuana business as well as a quaint little country store. The Federal marshals seem to give a wink-wink and a nod-nod to the pot operation in this series.

Jay Leno jokes about people smoking pot on his late night comedy hour as if it's the same as drinking alcohol.

Our society has mixed feelings on pot, but with the growing number of Americans incarcerated, it may rise to the level of the health care crisis when it comes to cost. Do you know how much it costs to house an inmate?

The prison industry complex is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States. They even have investors on Wall Street. It is a multimillion-dollar industry.

The United States has the highest documented incarceration rate in the world. One in every 100 Americans is in jail. It would be interesting to learn how many are in jail for marijuana.

Is this a sculpture of Rico (Suave) perhaps? :p

Pretty much the same here. Private growers must have a card from the state verifying that they are growing for up to 6, I believe, Medical Marijuana Card holders...Green Cards. A local guy here had his grow space catch fire. The fire dept arrived, put out the fire, saw the source of the fire...grow light...saw the pot plants in various stages of grow, called the sheriff's. He showed them his state cert allowing his operation...they verified it, and were never heard from again.

Reminds me of when carelessness in cannibas triggered a house fire in -----------> San Diego.
 
Why does everyone always feel bad for these guys and "hope they get out soon" and all that crap??

What they did was illegal where they did it and they got caught. End of story.
Who cares if you think smoking weed should or shouldn't be legal........

People make their own choices and then have to live by them, in all areas of life. Try making better choices.
 
I don't understand how these threads always turn into a legalizing weed thread. This crime has ZERO to do with weed or its legalization. The motive was big quick money. If pot was legal, they would not have been selling it, the gas stations would for 5 dollars a pack. The only reason there is big money in it is because it is ILLEGAL. If pot was legalized, they would be selling coke, heroin or anything else that could turn huge profits.

Big money = hard to get, supply demand.

Pot was just a product that has a high mark up. If it was kool aid that was hard to get with big money involved they would be selling it. I doubt any of these guys are writing any letters to legalize medicinal marijuana.

I will second that motion.
 
Im all for locking up criminals but drug crimes are a different animal. It is pretty much a victim less crime. So if these were rapists or murderers or something along those lines I think there would be a different opinion.

I know we differ on some opinions Adam but I still think you are cool guy, but you cant beat me ! lol
