In America having a felony on your record is the absolute end of your career so at 19 they're basically ending your life. So I'm not sure it's even worth showing up to sentencing. Rebel and go into hiding and you'll have a better QoL than prison and post-felony job search. That lets you practice civil disobedience against America's corrupt drug laws.

"You break the law, then you do the time!" Yeah yeah, but that doesn't mean it isn't a bullshit law.

5-10 pounds though, that's intent to sell, and in a state where weed itself is illegal to begin with.

For what it's worth, he probably won't get anywhere near the 5 years and if he behaves he'll be out in half of whatever time he does get.

Who knows, he might get lucky and just get probation like my friend got when he was busted selling.

They need to just hurry up and decriminalize/legalize this shit.

Makes no sense to go to one state where it's legal, and then drive 15 minutes in some situations where it can mean legit prison time.

Wisconsin definitely does suck when it comes to marijuana, but for personal use many cities here have decriminalized or legalized possession

That's still an illegal amount even in states where it's legal. Intent to sell on top of that. You can't just sell it in legal states either gotta be a licensed business. Following rules isn't hard.

Isnt this going to happen with Abortion soon. If Supreme Court leaves it to the states. That means people will end up living in a state where it is banned and go to jail for it despite it being legal elsewhere.

Reminder that weed is only illegal so for profit prisons can have legalized slavery.

Also permanently losing your right to vote for commiting a felony should be unconstitutional.

Who gives a shit. It's weed.

In this case, the state of Wisconsin, guy was carrying pounds of weed knowing it was a crime to do so, and because of the amount, they probably assumed an intent to sell which is why he's facing 5 years instead of just some fine and/or probation.

Even in states where weed is legal you'll face prison time if you're carrying that much.

Kloe_Rinz posted...

Doesn't matter, still illegal in the state he lives in, and due to the amount he was carrying, they'll probably assume an intent to sell which makes the crime dramatically worse.

Can people arguing against the punishment actually read the thread? He was carrying 5-10 pounds of weed.

thats not 5-10oz. Thats pounds.

even in states where weed is legal that shit would get you locked up real fast. Intent to distribute a controlled substance with that much inventory is not going to be ignored.

and he was stupid to not take the deal if this were true of course.

by the way - here is a rough idea of what 10lbs of weed looks like.
