NJ Medical Marijuana Patient Convicted, Faces 5-10 Years in Prison
Somerville- The jury returned a not guilty verdict to John Wilson on the first-degree felony charges against him. But the MS patient could still face time in prison after being found guilty of second-degree charges of âManufacturingâ marijuana and third-degree possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms. Â
If he had been convicted of "operating and maintaining a marijuana production facility" John would have faced a minimum of 15 years in state prison. That could have amounted to a death sentence for the 37 year old because of the degenerative nature of the disease. [Examiner]
So it could've been worse, but it's awfully hard to get excited about a result that could still send a seriously ill patient to prison. I guess the mushroom possession didnât help, but shrooms should be legal anyway and I'm sure he found them helpful or he wouldn't have had them.
Let's hope this less-than-worst-case scenario doesnât suck any momentum from the effort to get Wilson pardoned and pass medical marijuana legislation in New Jersey to prevent such injustices in the future.
