$31 of pot gives mom 10-year-prison, No prior

She knew the risks.

Yes, but her common sense aside, does the law even make sense?

I don't agree with the sentence, But she knew it was illegal.

Stay away from trouble and you won't get trouble

wow...I am curious when a dime bag started running 11 dollars...that is an odd number...

Collecting sales tax in good faith.

I'm almost there on the legalization of drugs...but not quite.

Stupidity also reigns when you know something is illegal, do it anyway, involve your kids, do it some more, and then act all indignant when you actually get arrested and go to jail.

+1 Gotta agree!

Since I don't have all the facts, I can't say much more than I don't agree with the law, but it is against the law. That said, we only know about the two times she sold to an undercover. We don't know what she did outside of that, other than she said she thought it would be a way to make some extra money. I wonder if they searched her home afterwards, and if they found any additional marijuana.

You would have seen a possession w/ intent to distribute charge on the same sheet. Oklahoma loves to stack.

However, she did have another charge filed for possession a week after her conviction. Kingfisher County is non-OCIS, so you can't access the court documents online.

She was selling illegal drugs in front of her kids!! 10 years is just right and she should not ever be allowed around her kids again. An illegal drug is an illegal drug no matter how it's cut and she was exposing minors to it

While I agree with SMS, DG, and BB...

I'm pretty much on the same page for you. I could support legalizing some drugs, but while it is illegal, if you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

This is what is asinine about this sentence...

...more time than many violent criminals get.

Please. Nor should a soccer mom driving 70 in a 55 while talking on the cell phone with her kids in the back. Yes, it's illegal. Yes, she should have been smart enough not to risk it. And yes, the sentence is far and away excessive for the crime. But "never be allowed around her kids again"?

Everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,
