Marijuana Drug War Stupidity

Fifty-four (54) year old Henry Walter Wooten, of Tyler, Texas, was just convicted and sentenced to thirty-five (35) years in prison for possessing 4.6 ounces of marijuana.  This is unimaginably stupid.  Believe it or not, Smith County Assistant District Attorney Richard Vance, who prosecuted Wooten, desired to put this man behind bars for ninety-nine (99) years.  How has this benefited Tyler, Texas, or even society, in any way shape or form?
