"We're locking up people that have taken a couple puffs of marijuana and next thing you know they've got 10 years with mandatory sentences," Robertson continued. "These judges just say, they throw up their hands and say nothing we can do with these mandatory sentences. We've got to take a look at what we're considering crimes and that's one of 'em.
"I'm ... I'm not exactly for the use of drugs, don't get me wrong, but I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot, that kinda thing it's just, it's costing us a fortune and it's ruining young people. Young people go into prisons, they go in as youths and come out as hardened criminals. That's not a good thing."

10 years for an ounce is probably just a wee bit of an exaggeration. Here are the state laws.
[Link: www.usmarijuanalaws.com...]
Florida gives 15 years for 25 plants (dealing), but an ounce or under is 1 year, plus $1K fine. 1 year in jail is a hell of a lot of time for a bag of weed.
