When you find someone in federal prison on an MJ charge it's because his lawyer managed to get a plea bargain going that resulted in many more serious charges being dropped.

Doesn't mean these people aren't cut-throats and thugs just because the only conviction showing is one for MJ.

I think plea bargains should be eliminated at the federal level.

Evidence, please. I wouldn't doubt that there are a few people that are in there for only an MJ charge and were plea bargained down, but I believe there are far more people in there that had not committed any more serious crime than having the wrong kind of natural plant in their pocket.
