Marijuana Arrests Exceed Violent Crime Arrests

“In 2011, marijuana possession arrests totaled 663,032 — more than arrests for all violent crimes combined,” says a new report.

    A pot bust is probably one of the easiest and safest to make. According to DOJ statistics, the vast majority of marijuana offenders are non-violent.

    Law enforcement needs to re-direct its focus on crime…to those that are REAL crimes.

    I was in Federal Prison for 5 years for a marijuana offense. No, it was not for simple possession. I was arrested aboard a Lockheed PV2 in Marianna, Florida…charged and convicted for conspiracy to import and distribute 12,000 pounds of marijuana.

    As my years in prison rolled by, what I did see were armed bank robbers, coming and going…while I still sat there for marijuana. Most of the bank robbers only spent 17 to 24 months. But, I and my fellow ‘drug offenders,’…we stayed for YEARS.

    I wrote about the escapades that led to my incarceration. I admit, I had a great time. No one was injured, no one was killed, firearms were not involved…there were no victims.

    We were Americans…doing what Americans do best…living free.

    The book: Shoulda Robbed a Bank

    Tales of adventure in the marijuana trade…all fictitious, of course???

    I would be honored by your review.
