Hey Choomster, presidential pardon for this guy maybe? Send him to Betty Ford for that rehab you love so much instead of LIFE IMPRISONMENT?!

"Chris Williams had reason to believe his risk of federal prosecution was minimal, following the release of a 2009 memo by the Justice Department stating that the federal government should not focus federal resources on medical marijuana growers and patients who complied with their own state laws. But in March 2011, federal agents raided Chris' growhouse during a statewide crackdown across Montana.In spite of a 2004 voter referendum legalizing medical marijuana in Montana, supported by 62 percent of the voters, states like Montana can't stop the federal government from enforcing its own drug laws.At his trial, Williams was prevented from invoking his compliance with state law as a defense against the federal charges. As a result, the jury heard a partial, and profoundly distorted version of Chris' story -- and on this basis convicted him on eight counts, which carry a mandatory minimum of more than 80 years in prison."

Due to mandatory minimum sentencing on four of the charges — which involved having a gun during the commission of a drug crime — Williams is facing between 82 and 85 years in prison.
In a letter sent to Anthony Gallagher, the chief federal defender, on Oct. 11, Cotter says that he’s willing to drop one count of manufacturing marijuana, two counts of possession with intent to distribute the drug and three counts of possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking offense if Williams will agree to waive his right to appeal the conviction and upcoming sentencing.
“Such a resolution would allow Mr. Williams to argue for and receive a total sentence of as little as 10 years between Counts I and V,” Cotter wrote. “Mr. Williams received a fair trial that will be upheld on appellate review. This offer is extended as a last effort by my office to treat Mr. Williams in a reasonable, sufficient and fair manner that will vindicate the federal interest in this case.”
The two remaining counts are conspiracy to grow and distribute marijuana, and possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking offense. The conspiracy involved his former medical marijuana business partners Chris Lindsey, Dan Nichols, Thomas Daubert and the Flor family.
All of those people agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a lower sentence. Daubert is on probation for five years, members of the Flor family received sentences between two and five years; Lindsey and Nichols are awaiting sentencing.
But in a letter to the Independent Record, Williams wrote that he will reject what he calls “the new compromise” as he has with all other proposed plea bargains. He argues that this case isn’t just about medical marijuana — U.S. District Court Judge Dana Christensen prohibited discussion of Montana’s state law during Williams’ trial — but is about people being in charge of their government rather than the other way around.

That is exactly what he called himself when he was smoking pot. Pot was choom and he was the "choomster" taking "roof hits" and all this other goofy bullshit that people do when they smoke pot.

Hey, what about state rights? Not prosecuting? More raids in 4 years than Bush had in 8 and there are pictures of this hypocritical bucket of jizm smoking joints all over the internet. Pot for me, life imprisonment for thee.

Nope, don't think so, they are willing to drop those charges. If those charges were the ones really getting him into trouble you wouldn't think they would be willing to let them go.

The charges are only there because he possesses marijuana. If you own a gun legally but also have drugs welcome to a gun charge too.

Im using your own rawn pawl logic. If he doesnt like the rules in his state, he can just uproot and move somewhere else. Just like if my friends want to get married or my wife wants an abortion.

Isnt rawn pawl world awesome?
