A former Alaska television reporter who became a viral sensation in 2014 after quitting her job to advocate for the legal use of marijuana faces 54 years in prison for allegedly running an illegal marijuana shop.

The Guardian reported Thursday that Charlo Green is facing 14 offenses, including “misconduct involving a controlled substance,” for running the Alaska Cannabis Club. Though the state legalized the manufacture, sale and possession of the drug in 2015, the state had failed to give Greene the proper certifications for the club to run retail operations.

The Alaska Cannabis Club allowed people to buy memberships which allowed people to make “donations” in exchange for marijuana. Authorities in Alaska had launched a series of raids on her club and eventually charged Greene.

1. I feel like "Green" is an appropriate name for running this operation.

2. She probably should have not drawn an undue attention to herself if she was running this operation.

3. 54 years seems like cruel and unusual punishment for such an operation.

Typical OT response to weed related laws. They are the same people who way other people should be shot for violating other laws.

This goes both ways. You have to be pretty fricking dumb to risk a multi-year sentence over something like this.

What happened to big-league bootleggers who were in the hoosegow when alcohol prohibition was repealed? Did they get reduced sentences or was a movement made to get them out?

I'd hope/imagine that even if this chica is sentenced to something ridiculous like 30 years, she'd get out early once MJ was legalized at the federal level (within 16 years) or at the state level (probably within next 10 years in libertarian Alaska).
