Even though the 'War on Drugs' has been a failure, the 'War on Marijuana' which was part of that was just ridiculous. Locking someone away for weed, even lets say 6 pounds of it, is just mind-blowing wrong.
If its a non violent crime, then a lwp sentence doesnt seem justified, let alone right.
I’m not arguing for life without parole for non-violent offenders. Im saying in general, that life without parole doesn’t mean life until someone decides you are too old to harm anyone.
