This past weekend two Brown students, Benjamin Kintisch ’02.5 and Avery Rosen ’01.5, were arrested for smoking the buds of a plant that grows naturally around the world, including in the United States. Although they posed no harm to themselves or others, both could face prison terms — “the felony charge levied against Rosen carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison and/or a fine of $3,000 to $100,000” (“Two students arrested for marijuana possession,” Nov. 12).

In fact, one could argue that these two individuals are among the stars of their peer group: they performed excellently in high school, were accepted to a prestigious Ivy League university and are both close to graduation. ...both could face prison terms — “the felony charge levied against Rosen carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison and/or a fine of $3,000 to $100,000” http://www.november.org/wall.html [ Post Comment ] |
