Perjury? Thousands? List 'em...
No silly. Please try to stay on the topic of the thread you started.
Since you changed the subject. Nor was I talking about Bill boinking Hillary,,, or Monica, which he never did have sexual relations with. And when I look closely at a picture of Vince Foster and then at Chelsea, I wonder if Bill boinked Hillary.

Not too sure. He spent a few nights in jail until his girlfriend bailed him out. I believe it was something like operating a vehicle under the influence of an illegal substance, and of course, reckless endangerment, destroying police property, etc... Of course, he had priors...

James Geddes. 90 year sentence in Oklahoma because he was a frequent visitor to a home where a friend was growing five marijuana plants. Eventually it was reduced to five years.

Depends upon your NAFTA stance.

Possession of a single joint got a Danville Virginia man thirty years in the penitentary in the 1970's.
To: Oberon
When that become relevant, I'll let you know...Hmmm. Let me grace you with another irrelevancy... in putting someone down, one should use proper grammar.
I know - I blew it. When your post become relevant, I'll let you know - eh?
To: Ed B.
WOW! That IS reffer madness -- insane.

Right, but that's possession (he must have been a murdering dealer!)

Harry Anslinger especially targeted black musician users for federal jail until one of our presidents told him to cut it the hell out. The Marxists are still using that example in black neighborhoods to stir up strife and resistence against "The Man."
That doesn't make Harry Anslinger any less of an asshole, and if "the man" can't acknowledge blatant racist laws and do something about them, other than gloat, than "the man" deserves all the strife and resistence that can be brought to bear.

I had no argument. I made a comment.
If you want to extrapolate you could if you wanted start championing that people should be imprisoned for buying and selling bird seed that has hemp seeds in it.

Interesting post from a pro-dope site. Now where are all the stats, or at least the anecdotal horror stories, evidencing that such draconian sentences were imposed?
It could very well be that in decades past people spent years in prison in some states for possession of marijauna. It would have been rare, and is even rarer (nonexistent) today.
It wasn't too long ago that rape and horse-theft were punishable by death in many states. In fact, in the America of the late 19th Century--a time most pro-dopers remember fondly as the time of great libertarian freedom--there were many, many extremely harsh laws on the books that punished behavior that libertarians cherish today as unalienable rights, e.g., sodomy, adultery, even keeping a business open on Sundays. About the only thing desirable (from a pro-dope point-of-view) was that you could get fried on opium (laudunum), and whacky-tabacky wasn't really on anyone's radar screen yet.
To return to the point of this thread, the army of millions of suffering prisoners-for-dope-alone is an illusion created by pro-dope agitators.

Any argument made by a Marxist is suspect. I no more trust your Marxist/Lib Dem-derived version of facts than I do Clinton's protestations that he never inhaled.
Falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus.
