Congress to impose 5 years in prison for passing a joint
by Marijuana Policy Project press release (20 Apr, 2005)

Take action! Urge your U.S. representative and two U.S. senators to oppose harsh new mandatory minimum sentences.

Your immediate help is needed to defeat harsh new mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenses.

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee will soon consider a bill that would create draconian mandatory minimum sentences for a variety of nonviolent drug offenses, including marijuana. If this bill becomes law, anyone convicted in federal court of the crime of "enticing" someone "who has previously been enrolled in a drug treatment program" to "possess" marijuana will receive a five-year mandatory minimum sentence.

That's right: Passing a joint to someone who used to be in drug treatment will land you in federal prison for a minimum of five years
