Is being arrested for pot worse than a violent crime?

My ex nearly killed me & was released after 5 weeks in jail. I know people who were in jail for having a little more than an ounce of pot & convicted for dealing.

When are we going to make violent crimes a priority? It shouldn't matter if it's your spouse, your child or your pet. Violent is violent.

    I Agree! Violence kills. Pot makes you mellow,and serene.

  • if u mean if it is worse by will u get longer time then depends on how much pot u have but to me a violent crime should be way worser because ur putting people or peoples life in danger as for pot ur not harming anyone but they should go harder on ppl who did violent crimes

    I know my dads a lawyer and he as people who like abuse their children who get less years then people with drugs. and if you are caught with drugs like 200 yards away from a school you can go to jail for dealing to minors and that carries even more

    well a certain percent of pot users have caused harm to people in some way... either from a stoned car accident or from an annoyance from a friend, partner, or spouse.. etc.

    Face it.

    It's a drug, and people can get killed or beaten over it.

    once people become responsible with it, it may become legal...

    but right now,

    from all i have witness from these users

    (maybe just a small percent)

    It shouldn't be legal...

    and being arrested is protecting you from yourself and others.

    well being arrested is a bit overkill..

    without making light of the offence, how long was he in custody for, did the court take that into account?

    btw possessing is not as bad as cultivation and or supplying
