Well, people in Denver will finally get to use their SUVs on a dirt road :)withholding of Fed highway funds....
Presidential pardon. Congressional pardon.Why do you say he will only do 10 years. you do know that in fed prison there is no early release or parole you do 90% of the time given. and even so a decade is a long freakin time behind bars.
Green, I believe that one of the guys that was involved in that case as a co defendant did take a plea deal and it was still 5 years.

I feel for him, no one should go to prison for any amount of time for a plant! But we all know how it is....Trust me, I get a weekly call that starts something like this "This is a call from XXXX, an inmate at a federal prison. To accept the call, press 5" But for the most part, if you are laying low and doing a homegrow, 10kW or smaller, you are WAY off their radar.
What I'm saying is that we are seeing the tide turning. Charlie Lynch got off with 1 year, and the federal judge told him that he was caught between state and federal laws. What I'm saying is the federal laws are going to change in the next 10-20 years, so an 80 year sentence isn't going to stick. He will be able to appeal when the laws change. They are just throwing the book at him because he didn't take the deal. He should of just lawyered up real good and worked a deal, thats just how it goes. 5 years sucks, but it beats the hell out of 80!
Got a buddy that works with some consultants and former DEA and narcotics agents, working on legislation. According to him, DEA agents get laughed at around the water cooler for small grower busts in med states. Its like such a "no shit" situation. They are looking for the guys doing big runs to the east. Guys trading for other drugs, guns, stuff like that. You guys are so paranoid with your 2kW grow, Feds get laughed at when the catch a small fry like us...
You guy's need to check this out. This is what Ken Buck had to say in 2010, the title of the article isJust saw where weld county takes the position that it is federally illegal and they will prosecute for any amount.
Not sure how they can get around the state constitution?
