Life without Parole for nonviolent Cannabis conviction
http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dai...efforts_co.php
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.

Sentenced to life in prison, man hopes new clemency rules will get him out
(highlights of cnn article) Quote:
In the USA, LSD is classified as schedule 1 which is meant for drugs that have a high potential for abuse + no currently acceptable medical use + lack of acceptable safety for use. All of which is not true. LSD has an extremely low likelihood of dependence, and their are no known human fatalities from LSD consumption. LSD is schedule 3 in Canada and the UK. |

The faster legalization process happens, the better.
Then all the simple possession cases can be put of for review/parole. should open up tons of room in the prisons for violent offenders

Too bad the jails feel the need to be overcrowded to get more tax dollars for improvement and building new jails. Been through all that before.

EFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri man sentenced to life without parole for marijuana-related offenses is set to be released from prison. Jeff Mizanskey's attorney says he will be released Tuesday from the Jefferson City Correctional Center after spending more than two decades behind bars. Police say Mizanskey conspired to sell 6 pounds of pot to a dealer connected to Mexican drug cartels. He was sentenced and convicted as a persistent drug offender under Missouri law. The law allowed life without parole for people with three felony drug convictions. It's since been changed. Missouri's Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon commuted Mizanskey's sentence in May, making him eligible for parole. Mizanskey's attorney says the man's son and grandchildren are expected to meet him once he's released.

Is Missouri getting legalization on the ballet this year?
I'll be voting for it here in Ohio in November.
