You shouldnt call them criminals. Were talking about two kids that got caught disobeying a law that doesn't make a lot of sense. There is no real foundation to marijuana prohibition, yet those that decide not to follow it face incarceration and public humiliation
ReplyDeletedont call these people criminals they are good people worry about your own problems they are both probably a lot smarter than us they just had a mistake in their life and i guarantee they will learn quickly from this
ReplyDeletenow lets think about it what did they really do move some trees over some imaginary lines.. whats the harm in that
ReplyDeleteWe live in a sad country were two young adults can be sent to jail for possessing some plants. What is this country coming to when murderers and rapists get off in the same amount of jail time as someone who possesses marijuana. Our whole system needs to be rethought. When will this corrupt country begin to realize that marijuana should not be classified in the same category as cocaine and heroin.
