Shiiiit read the whole story here

http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2013/04/veteran-mma-referee-josh-rosenthal-cops-plea-awaits-sentencing-in-marijuana-case

"One year ago, federal agents raided an Oakland, Calif., warehouse owned by Rosenthal and an associate that contained 1,356 marijuana plants, according to a copy of the agreement"

"The drug's street value was estimated at more than $6 million."

Damn who saw that coming huh ?

Crazy how much time you can get for growing a plant, when other violent offenders can do less.

Yeah that's true, the article says he would do 10 years without the deal, crazy long just for marijuana.

Especially when most states have an auto 5 year sentence for a crime w/ a gun.  A little off don't you think... whether you agree w/ marijuana or not.

EDIT:  When I say crime w/ a gun, I obviously don't mean murdering/injuring... I mean any crime that involves a gun (minus bodily injury).. unless your P. Burress. (lol)

Rosenthal always seemed like a chillllllllllllllllllllllllll guy. One of the best refs imo. The law system sucks though. Way too much time for drugs... violent offenses should be where you get the serious time for.

@mulefloyd the street value the cops put on weed (and drugs in general) is a joke, they break it down to if you were to sell it all in ****** dimes.

Yep, you guys are absolutely right.  Drugs have never been acquainted with violence, and knowingly running a major growing operation that you know to be illegal is completely okay...Free Rosenthal.

I don't see where anyone said in this thread that drugs have never been acquainted with violence. Rosenthal is not being convicted of any violent crime. Yet he was looking at 10 years in prison and there is ******'s out there that have done less time than that.
