17 year-old kid gets TWO YEARS time for selling ONE JOINT. Hardcore violent crimes often get less time than that. That's just stupidly insane.

We know. That is exactly what is wrong with this world.

Cannabis users are getting longer sentences than murderers and rapists.

Stupid isnt it?

When ever i read something like that it makes me feel phyisically sick to know this world really is falling down, peice by peice.
