>> Life in Prison for Selling $20 of Weed

It is terrible. But what the article doesn't say is that in Shreveport this guy could have gotten 30 years for his "crime" even without the prior convictions. In Louisiana, first offense for possession with intent to deliver is 5-30 years. And those shiteaters will enforce it. No different from Oklahoma.

When someone says, "They have those laws on the books but it never happens" (one of O'Reilly's favorite, ignorant-assed comments) they're full of crap. Happens ALL THE TIME. You get busted in one of those little towns with a little pot you can damned well go to prison over it.

I had a friend many years ago who did 10 years in Angola over a small possession charge. Such a waste.

They're idiots.

All that being said, they're their laws, anyone in the state ought to know it going in, and if you're going to smoke dope go to Colorado. If you're going to sell it, Louisiana is the last place you want to do that.
