Reading the article fully, itâs a bit of a rabbit-hole⌠yes, there was a conviction for possession of a minor amount of pot, but itâs not what heâs in prison for. The police were at his house with a search warrant and found a small amount of pot while executing that warrant, and he was convicted for that. Because he was convicted of a crime - any crime - and was also considered a habitual violent offender due to retroactive changes in Mississippi laws, he ended up with a far harsher sentence than would normally be possible for possession. This isnât really about cannabis, other than an argument that it shouldnât be illegal at all and thus he wouldnât have ended up on trial⌠but if heâd been arrested and brought to trial for jaywalking, it could have ended up the same.
It does still seem unjust, but the injustice is more about a life sentence for crimes that werenât considered violent when he committed them but due to a change in classification are now considered violent, regardless of whether any actual violence against a person occurred. Several judges dissented on the decision, so there might be some basis for an appeal.

Any smoke puts a strain on your heart and lungs. That can trigger heart attacks and stroke. Cannabis causing cancer, No. Cannabis making COVID worse No and neither does cigarettes. In fact people who smoke cigarettes have better outcomes from COVID than nonsmokers.

I didnât just mean it literally, maybe this is unfair but I think to some degree the hive mind of government is focused on Chittenden and Washington counties.

Exactly anything that changes your BP or heart rate can trigger a heart attack or stroke. It depends on comorbidities whether something triggers the heart attack or stroke.
