Oklahoma Mom Sentenced to 12 Years In Prison For $30 Worth Of Weed May Get Parole!

Come on now... surely someone that actually does deserve that kind of sentencing should have it more then someone who's just merely messing about with weed. Right?

Patricia Spottedcrow, a mother and first time offender from Oklahoma, was originally sentenced to 12 years behind bars for selling $30 worth of marijuana. For months, the NORML Women’s Alliance, and other organizations have been bringing attention to one of the most egregious cases of the war on drugs in recent history. After several outreach campaigns to local law enforcement and elected officials, and especially a strong grassroots effort spearheading my outraged mothers and reformers alike, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board have recommended early parole for Spottedcrow. While this is a small victory in the battle against marijuana prohibition, it is significant in showing that grassroots efforts trult can make a significant difference in the lives of those adversely impacted by the government’s war on drugs.

12 years?!

If they're gonna put you away that long for selling weed for the first time, you might as well sell coke and make some more money.
