In case some people might be getting a different idea. I think my comment was on the topic of how far a punishment goes. It's complaining about punishment going that far, not complaining that "it's illegal!" even though I have some thoughts on that on a different topic maybe.
If the person didn't get lifetime probation, and got probation for a year after the sentence instead, I would be far less pissed. If I fully agreed that mere possession should remain illegal, I would find the 1 year probation better, and likely fair maybe. Any lifetime penalty is irrational, and wrong morally speaking.

Account abandoned and probably will make a new anonymous account with no trace of evidence of it being me. I think it's justified.
