In January 1998, Representative Bobby Moak (R-MS) proposed House Bill 192 dubbed "Smoke a Joint, Lose a Limb." Section One states: "In lieu of any other penalty prescribed by law, the court may allow any person who is convicted for a violation of the Controlled Substances Law to have a body part removed. The convicted person and the court must agree on which body part shall be removed."
In Kansas, a coalition of 38 Republican state legislators has proposed that growing marijuana should be punishable by life without parole. First degree murderers in Kansas are eligible for parole after 25 years.
Without marijuana smokers to pursue, the "enemy" pool would be reduced to 2 million hard-core heroin and cocaine addicts, many struggling in abject poverty. The drug war would potentially be seen as a race war, operating without a clue as to the mechanics of addiction. The domestic paramilitary approach would inevitably give way to maintenance programs and community outreach. For the War on Drugs to remain a viable policy for the many key players profiting immensely from prohibition, marijuana must therefore remain illegal.
