Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), Chairman of the House= Judiciary >=A0Committee, has introduced an incredibly bad bill, H.R. 4547. >=A0Print the bill out at http://thomas.loc.gov/ by entering H.R.= 4547 in the >=A0box. > >=A0It would provide a 10-year mandatory minimum for a parent who= shares >=A0marijuana with their child, plus a 4-level sentencing= enhancement. If the >=A0parent has a prior drug offense -- even a 25-year old marijuana= citation as >=A0a college student, the sentence is mandatory life without= parole. > >=A0The mandatory minimum for selling marijuana on or within 1000= feet of a >=A0college campus is raised to 5 years. (This also includes= selling any drugs >=A0within 1000 feet of any school, public library, swimming pool,= video >=A0arcade, public or private daycare facility). > >=A0It creates a new crime of distributing drugs within 1000 feet= of a drug >=A0treatment facility with a mandatory sentence of 5 years up to= life >=A0imprisonment. > >=A0It creates a new crime of distributing (or offering to= distribute) drugs >=A0(or attempting or conspiring to do so) to a person enrolled in= a drug >=A0treatment facility, under a court order to do so, or "who has= previously >=A0been enrolled in a drug treatment program or facility" with a= mandatory >=A0minimum of 5 years up to life. > >=A0Think about the pressures to snitch and make up stuff for a= junkie who is >=A0charged with attempting to sell or offering to sell drugs to= another junkie >=A0who was once in drug treatment. This sounds like the trumpet= call for a >=A0nationwide perjury festival. > >=A0Think about how this new offense could be used by DEA to target= doctors who >=A0treat pain. Send an undercover in for pain medication and let= it drop that >=A0they are now clean because the treatment program they were in= worked. > >=A0This would make any kind of sub rosa maintenance treatment= subject to a >=A0mandatory minimum of 5 years up to life, and, I failed to= mention, a >=A0$4,000,000 fine! Any kind of prior conviction, mandatory life= imprisonment. > >=A0> >=A0>Below is an action alert that FAMM is sending out to our= members tonight >=A0>on the new Sensenbrenner bill, H.R. 4547.
