    But if you grow weed you to prison for life. How are people ok with this?

      Because growing weed is a criminal offense. It probably shouldn’t be, but that’s how the law works.

      What happened here was not a criminal case. So given the limited available punishment this is pretty severe. I mean does the idiot even have 300 million dollars?

        I guess the question is, why wasn’t he charged criminally for fraud?

        That’s not true, people regularly get a decade in jail for growing cannabis in prohibition states

        You can literally beat your wife nearly to death and get less time

        The only reason it is kept illegal is to keep our prisons filled

        People are still in prison for it though.
