John: I thought you loved stalinism. You are certainly an appologist for it.

Jesus Christ, you know, I remember as an impressionable teenager being shocked by Solzhenitsyn’s run-through of Article 58 in the Gulag Archipelago. Never thought America would take it as an inspiration.

Aagh. a 10-year minimum sentence for anyone 21 or older that gives marijuana or others drugs to someone under 18... A second offense would be life in prison.

Life??? Fucking life in prison for passing a joint?

And the bizarre thing is that at the same time, US drug law is full of weird blindspots. For instance you can buy as much DXM as you like over the counter in any drugstore in the US, and that stuff will fuck you up far more than weed. It's closer to ketamine or PCP.

That is insane. Unjust and moronic.
