Jackal1, the situation you describe where the marijuana user stays in prison longer than the child molester is the result of mandatory sentencing minimum guidelines.  Of interest, in a recent earlier post, lazs2 advocated mandatory sentencing minimums.  Talk amongst yourselves.

chair... the child molester needs a minimum sentance.   I do not believe that victimless or non violent crimes need a minimum sentance.

I do not believe that personal drug use should even be a crime.

Agreed there for sure.  Watch out, Lazs, someone might call you a dirty hippy if you're not careful.

Or worse, JBmustain will put you on ignore when you make him look silly.


Its a shame some people can't handle even the thought of true freedom.

No chair... someone might call me an individualist.... a not as smart man might call me a libertarian.   some have called me an anarchist.

If you listen to some folks here, you'd think there was no difference between the two.

I aslo agree the whole sentencing/punishment route needs a complete overhaul.
