Alaska Darin Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Medicinal or recreational use? 100020[/snapback] Both. I think medical marijuana is already legal here. It's also legal for adults to possess less than 4 OZs, though it's illegal to grow or sell it. Figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 You guys probably know this, but California now moves forward with embryonic stem cell research. They also voted no on Prop. 66, which in essence "would have required an offender's third strike - and the 25-years-to-life sentence it triggers - be a violent or serious felony such as rape, robbery or murder. Currently, third strikes can be triggered by nonviolent crimes, such as shoplifting or drug possession." Had this passed, approximately 4000 prisoners would have had their cases reviewed based on the fact that their third strike was neither violent nor a serious felony.

Frankly, I may be a bit extreme on this. It seems to me that if you commit two crimes, and you're not smart enough not to commit a third given all the warnings that you have, then you should go away for a long time. It does seem to be something of a deterrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 The push to overturn the three strikes law was funded by a multi-millionaire whose son was locked up for three strikes. He did it to try to get his scumbag son sprung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
