inhibit the possibility of a life sentence on a teen convicted of making pot brownies. Pardon Jacob Lavorno.

Created by A.K. on May 20, 2014

A 19 year-old native of Texas, with no prior criminal record, was convicted of making a batch of pot brownies and faces the possibility of life in prison simply because he used hashish oil in the recipe. An otherwise misdemeanor offense turns into a first-degree felony as a result, and holds the possibility of a life sentence--longer than some prisoners who were convicted of murder. Help defend one mistake from ruining a teen's life--pardon Jacob Lavorno.
