"The Crown is asking for a sentence between two and two and a half years. The defence is asking for a two-year conditional sentence with two years of probation and a $5,000 fine."
The 25-month sentence, which was reduced to 15 months, will be extremely difficult on the family, Tyler Ennis said.
The Crown told court Ennis is not “your typical drug trafficker.” He is well mannered and does not have a criminal record.
Court heard marijuana helped Ennis, who the defence said has Crohn’s Disease. He is 49 years old and has had a medical marijuana prescription for about one year.
The judge said he received 55 letters of reference for Ennis.

Versus this:

In a July 24 B.C. Supreme Court decision, Russell Bidesi was found guilty of attempting to cause bodily harm and was sentenced the following week to two-and-a-half years in prison.
It was early morning Nov. 20, 2011 – just over a month before McPherson was shot – that Bidesi and Harpreet Sandhu were at a hotel party in Richmond. Court heard that while they had a "cordial" relationship, the two got into an argument outside that turned into a brief altercation. One of Bidesi's friend's punched Sandhu and another pulled out a gun and waved it around. Moments later, a cab pulled up and when Sandhu and his friends went to take it, Bidesi ran towards the taxi, carrying his friend's gun. There was an argument and Bidesi pointed it at Sandhu. The gun fired, hitting him in the chin.
Bidesi argued he pulled the gun only to intimidate Sandhu and that it fired accidentally – a defence the judge did not buy.
But while Justice Barbara Fisher found the shooting was intentional, she said there were aspects of the evidence that raised doubts that Bidesi intended to kill Sandhu, resulting in the bodily harm conviction rather than attempted murder.
Crown recommended a 30-month sentence, while defence lawyer Darcy Lawrence sought an 18-month prison term.
Bidesi is facing additional murder charges since this incident.

Absolutely appalling outcomes. These judges should be ashamed of their utter lack of competence.

And society continues to excuse and accept the consequences of alcohol consumption, including violence, while they demonize a plant. This will be appealed and reduced to a suspended sentence.
