In light of recent statements by Attorney General Eric Holder that the Federal Government will defer to State law regarding marijuana law, it would seem just and right that all individuals now serving federal mandatory minimum sentences for the violation of these federal statutes be remanded immediately back to the governing states for their cases to be reviewed based on state law. In addition, federal mandatory minimum guidelines for marijuana sentencing should be abolished based on their constitutional violation of due process by failing to take into account the individual facts in the case.
Until such time as this occurs, people such as Dr. Marion Fry and Dale Schafer, should be released from prison where they serve no good purpose and be reunited with their family.
