pot

Christmas is over, back to life. Patricia Spottedcrow, mother of 4 young kids, was arrested for selling some weed to a police informant. She's a first offender and the weed was worth 31 dollars. 31 dollars... Some smoke that for breakfast, but Patricia got 12 years in jail for that. And she was lucky, a judge took 4 years of her sentence... She sleeps next to people who have killed someone, and they have less time to do than her. WTF. Patricia is another perfect example of how much damage the prohibition law really does. A whole year in prison has gone by. How is she doing?

"When my mother-in-law was in the final, harrowing throes of pancreatic cancer, she had only one good day, and that was the day she smoked pot..."

A mother, desperate to treat her severely autistic son turned to medical marijuana when she says no other treatment worked.

If pot were legal — not decriminalized, but legal — it likely would knock a few props from beneath rampaging Mexican drugs cartels, argues Michael Scott Moore.
