He should have gotten life.
There is a way to deal with drug addicts. Bring back the chain gang and put them to work in the fields, send the illegals packing.
This is a sensible alternative to our imprisoning drug users.

Our rehab doesn't work. Users get out and immediately start using again. It just doesn't last long enough. Two years of physical labor is a much more realistic timeframe.
LIFE ?
We're talking Marijuana, not heroin, not crack cocaine, or Meth... but a plant. A plant that I would love to garden in my own back yard, or at least be able to purchase just as one would cigarettes (which is WAY deadlier than pot btw) or alcohol.
It's not some man made synthetic bs...it's weed.
