Life without Parole for nonviolent Cannabis conviction

Efforts to release Jeff Mizanskey, the only man in Missouri serving a life-without-parole sentence for a nonviolent marijuana charge, are continuing this month with help from Show-Me Cannabis and Change.org.

Show-Me Cannabis has bought billboard space on I-70 near Kansas City (and near Sedalia, where Mizanskey was arrested). The billboard features a photo of Mizanskey and says: "Life without parole for cannabis? It's time we fix our unjust marijuana laws."

Jeff Mizanskey was convicted under Missouri's "Prior and Persistent Drug Offender" statute, the only drug-specific three-strike law in the country. Each of his felonies were for marijuana, the largest being approximately six pounds, which he didn't even have on him.

Him serving a life sentence for weed is a waste of taxpayer money.

A brother and sister were recently given a 20 year sentence for growing pot in Missouri.

In Missouri, if you kill someone while driving drunk, you could go to prison for -- at most -- 15 years. That's what Natalie and David DePriest are serving -- for growing marijuana. They were educated, had jobs and had no prior felony convictions on their records.

How did GE get arrested for weed he didn't have on him? Trying to buy from an undercover cop?

I'd prefer that this repeat pot head be taken into the street and killed, but this okay.

Meanwhile in America, a wealthy Du Pont heir dodged prison for raping his three year old daughter.

And that 'affluenza' teen only got probation for killing 4 people.

And...

Yeah, and it boggles my mind that in 2014 there are still dry counties in this country. Hard to believe.
