Six years in the clink for a pot charge?
If he was doing it, yeah he was stupid, but charge him, try him and sentence him,
SIX YEARS with NO TRIAL is just as egregious as what he did.
Life’s not fair and a person who makes wrong choices is much more likely to experience more unfairness than those who don’t.
A guy plays with matches, intending only to give someone a hotfoot as a prank and ends up accidentally burning his own house down. Tough break, shite happens - life is uncertain that way. But he really can’t complain because the fire he started got out of control.
