Yes indeed - that Tommy Chong case was even more of a bad joke than the Emery one. As you say Zoltron, there was no seeds, no cannabis involved in Tommy Chongs case. All he did was sell 'glass pipes' which could be used to smoke tobacco, or salvia, or what everelse, or merely as an ornament. So the Feds decided to threaten the old man, 'Look we know you are innocent, but unless you plead guilty we will aim toward getting you a twenty year sentence to start with and also seek to confiscate all your assets'! 'Take the plea or your life is over regardless of your innocence'.:confused :
Where have we heard about this type of justice before? It seems as if the process of justice is absent. 'Land of the free'? Glass pipes? Cannabis seeds?
The drug war is most certainly a waste of human life.
Look at Mexico and Columbia and see how succesful the drug war is there.
