Life seems harsh.. If marijuana isn't going to be decriminalized, then penalties for possession should be reduced.. It's time.

I don't care. Don't break the law and you won't have issues.

First District Attorney Mark Brunner said Holmes was “grandstanding” and that prosecutors are not trying to lock up Lavoro for the rest of his life. His office has offered Lavaro a plea deal to a lesser felony charge that would include no jail time if he stayed out of trouble.
Holmes said they won’t take the offer because they fear prosecutors would be overzealous if Lavaro missed so much as a mandatory meeting. Brunner said the county isn’t trying to make some statement on the war on drugs and defendants take risks when they choose a trial over plea bargains.

Lots of jurisdictions already have reduced penalties. Including, of all places, Mississippi, which was one of the first states to decriminalize possession.

“I’m scared. Very scared,” Lavoro said. “I’m 19 years old and still have a whole life ahead of me. Take that into account.”
Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.
ETA I certainly hope this kid is able to plead down to no jail time, but still.

Some desires are just stronger than law. When they ban gay porn, I'm sure you'll care about your potential life sentence.

I get that if it's the desire to consume, but the desire to sell?
