Why not?
Do you have no symapthy for someone who just made a simple mistake? Ten years for getting a damn blowjob. What is the point of that long of sentence? He already learned his lesson and all this is doing is making him hate the state even more and going to RUIN HIS LIFE! This type of sentence isn't going to prevent anyone else from doing the same thing so it is extremely unnessesary.

Mandatory sentences for marijuana are especially important to protect us from ourselves.

If someone is going to ruin their life from marijuana they are most likely going to ruin their lives in other ways too. Most people can use marijuana without screwing themselves over, it is only the few that give in to it.
