35 years for 4 ounces of weed

Hey guys remember when some people said my last hypothetical scenerio was far too out there and asinine to ever happen, well see you forgot Texas exists:

Regardless of what his two priors are, remember that hypothetical I set up, well here it is. Middle aged man, small Texas town, 4 ounces of marijuana, scale, and within a school zone

35 years in prison. For him that's basically life.

Manslaughter doesn't even normally get 35 years in prison.

 

lol @ 99 years

 

That's hella fukt. If I was sentenced to 35 years for some weed, I'd have to go ahead and murder some people, because I'll be DAMNED if I'm spending 35 years in prison for some weed.

 

Can you imagine what happens when the entire cell block finds out what you're in for. Instant bitch to everyone.

 

lol @ this entire scenario.. funny, in a sad way though.

 

Reasons I stay out of TX...

 

haha Like I said, I'd murder some people:tongue:

 

This proves how backwards the whole drug war is, hey you cant be smoking that green stuff that has never killed anyone, but we can give your kids all the amphetamines there little bodies can handle.

 

Im sometimes ashamed to live in Texas.

And I love the Houston Press. Theyre our local alternative newspaper. they have a 420 issue and are drug friendly, just like Houston.

 

thats bull shit..,...

 

JMT, Mikael Akerfeldt is the fuckin man

I like Bloodbath more than Opeth though

 

The dude sounds like an idiot, but so does the judge.

 

this is what happen when old cranky fucks (the judge, no doubt) refuse to retire
