Reporter who quit on live TV facing 54 years in prison. Calls her arrest "a modern day lynching"

Source text:

Remember that Alaska TV reporter who quit her job on live TV to focus on legalizing marijuana?

"And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice, but, f--- it, I quit," KTVA reporter Charlo Greene said.

Well, two years later, Charlo Greene is now facing 54 years in prison for allegedly running an illegal marijuana shop.

According to a report from The Guardian out last week, the former KTVA reporter has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including "misconduct involving a controlled substance."

A spokesperson for the Alaska attorney general's office told the outlet she's facing 14 offenses for running the Alaska Cannabis Club.

The club was created six months before the state voted to legalize the manufacture, sale and possession of marijuana in 2015.

So it let people to buy "memberships" and make "donations" in exchange for pot when it wasn't legal to do so.

Authorities conducted several raids and undercover operations at the Alaska Cannabis Club. Greene wasn't directly involved in any of them.

But she's being charged because it's registered under her name.

In a blog post, Greene called the charges against her "a modern day lynching."

And she told Complex in an interview last week, "It feels like I'm in this alone and it shouldn't. I'm supposed to be part of this huge community and it doesn't feel like it."

Greene's trial is expected to start in the coming months.

Poor chocolate qt ;_;

here she is quitting

>as for this job, not that I have a choice, fuck it i quit

I met her a few month ago at a Cannabis Convention here in D.C. She didn't seem that legally informed. She had a pretty weave on though.

>knowingly break the law
>Play the victim and race card on top of it

Top lel

did she have a bf/man?

Not that I saw but who knows if he travels with her. I got a scammy vibe off her. She was trying to start a network of cannabis advocates in each state or so she claimed. She had a business card that she gave me after I asked her something and she wouldn't give me her email so I got the card of her "creator" per the card.

DUDETTE WEED LMAO

keepen it a hundit!!

54 years in prison is excessive and is probably the technical max sentence.

this is probably what is going to happen

>cannabis club raided
>her name is the founder so she takes the fall
>facing jailtime
>DA and cops hammer her to snitch
>she dont wanna snitch
>ends up snitching so she doesnt get jailtime
>her inner network or those she doesnt like get fuqqed by the law


post the card? pic or the info? Did she have a special role or something at this cannabis convention?

Oh I don't still have the card. She was the key speaker.

>I'm supposed to be part of this huge community and it doesn't feel like it.

Bitch, you was a drug dealer.

That's ridiculous. It's just weed. 54 years is ludicrous.

>54 years in prison for selling a non-poisonous plant
When did we let our freedoms get taken?

>I'm a drug dealer
>Get upset when the cops get me dealing drugs

Doesn't matter if weed is legal or not, if it ain't legal in your area then you're knowingly breaking the law. If you feel so high and mighty about weed then change the fucking law first before you decide to deal it out

I doubt she will get anything more than probation if she has no priors.

>has legit job
>decides her job selling drugs is better
>says "fuck it I quit" to legit job
>gets arrested
>cries about the "injustice"
Why do niggers never understand laws?

can you provide a link to this convention?

she COULD have plausible deniability. a few of the people that worked "under" her could have went rogue with the drug dealing/producing. But thats doubtful, she probably knows all about the operation (hence playing victim/race card, she has no way out)

She could have at it all

>tv job that pays well
>good looking
>smoke weed on the downlow and dont get arrested or fail a drug test (which means dont be a total pothead)
>live in alaska and make bank

now she wanted to make such a big deal about her involvement in legalization? I guess if this is where she wanted to be in life (and not a news caster) then no problem but why throw away that good job/life?

>sell poison to her community
>why da cops be arresting me tho

>be black
>sell drugs
Eh
>get caught
>"yo muddafuqa u raycis trynnna lynch me, fuck whitey"
Eh

see I bet she is going to snitch for less time. Was this a federal crime? or just a state of alaska?

n i c e

Here's an example of a black woman doing well. Lands a job on tv presenting the news.

Then obviously smoked too much pot and fucked her brain up.

This is why you amercucks need free good mental health care. This woman is just sick.

>modern day lynching
It's just the wheels turning. Stupid to hunt down retroactive criminals. but that's the government for you.

She probably smoked pot all through college and maybe HS too.

>sell harmless plant
>get longer sentence than a murderer

A M E R I C A N S

>this entire post
You're an unamerican cucklet faggot if you would turn in your guns if they're made illegal.

54 years is probably the max time, she is facing 15 different charges. It's probably 3-4 years per charge if thats the case or had a shit ton of drugs

false equivalency

>guns
>can go to war with them
>can hunt animals for food
>defend from intruders


>pot
>.....you can smoke dat loud and get blitzed

bump

>country founded on rebellion and freedom
>wants to make nonpoisonous plants illegal
Honestly kill yourself, I bet you for gambling regulations too.

I never said I wanted to make it illegal tbqh.

My PERSONAL opinion is that it should be available only at pharmacies (when sold for medical purposes) to be sold to those with prescriptions for medical conditions where it makes a difference (cancer patients, crohn's diseases, multiple screlosis) and not lol depression/insomnia or other mental illnesses.

Not sure how I feel about personal recreational use. It can be damaging to a society at large simply because people can't perform as well stoned as they can sober

Its sold here in D.C. for any condition a doctor recommends it for and it works just fine. It is odd it isn't dispensed by pharmacies I suppose but it makes sense to give it out like a liquor store. I think the whole medicinal aspect is just so long as its federally illegal to give it traction and then I assume at some point it will be sold in recreational stores nationwide to those with an ID showing they are 21.

>54 years for selling weed illegally

That seems a bit extreme.

Freedom means the freedom to make bad decisions. "porn" "violent videogames" "violent movies" "free speech" can all also be """"""""""""""""""""damaging to society at large"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" would you support regulating them as well?

Cucked high horse faggots like you belong in Europe.

Spent all those years in bong smoke and that's where she left her mind.

SAD

Not an argument.

What is transgression. PRAY some ass will quarter you.

>So it let people to buy "memberships" and make "donations" in exchange for pot when it wasn't legal to do so.

Bitch tried to copy the Dallas Buyers Club

Smoking weed is not morally wrong. Nor is planting it. Nor is selling it. There is no reason to slap a 54 year sentence on someone for being a fucking botanist.

Can you show me examples of people doing meaningful things while under the influence of marijuana? Or how about chronic marijuana users that have meaningful lives?

Occasional use can be harmless but anymore than once every few months can affect a person negatively. better to just stay away than say "MY FREEDUM TO SMOEK WEED IS 420 BLAZE IT FGT"

I've never known a successful person who regularly smoked weed. I doubt many people know anyone who smokes weed daily and still succeeds in life.

>Can you show me examples of people doing meaningful things while under the influence of marijuana?
This is completely not an argument and you know it you faggot. Apply the same to alcohol.

If your criteria of making things legal is the productivity of it then you should also advocate for banning all forms of entertainment since nothing productive is coming from engaging in it.

I'm going to say it again and I really fucking mean it. Kill yourself.

Wtf are these sentences? Here. if you are caught for example using, you'll walk away with 50€ ticket

I understand your point, but I also understand their argument that something that doesn't hurt anyone else shouldn't really be illegal. Just because something isn't useful doesn't mean it should be banned.

a lot of the fucking ridiculous minimum sentence drug laws were passed back in the early 70s during the backlash against hippies, and nobody wants to repeal them because being 'soft on crime' doesn't win votes. Judges hate these laws that make them seem like psychopaths when they have to send some stupid kid up the river for 30 years for being caught selling a dime bag at school.

I'm a productive member of society with a good job who pays my bills on time and smokes weed erryday AMA.

While I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a lynching it's certainly fucked up that a person can face half a century in prison for selling marijuana of all things.

Regardless of your stance on legalization, how is spending all that money on keeping her locked up a smart investment? I could understand if she were Heisenberg but based on what's presented it doesn't seem like there's a violence/gang aspect to all this and I don't see why it's worth taxpayer dollars.

Ted Turner.

There are tons. It is a relatively effective medication for ADHD and shit.

How much do you spend per month?

Do you think you would be better off not smoking weed at all?

I'm glad she's going to prison, but 54 years is way too much.

>break the law
>face penalty of the law
>be black
>its cuz im black isnt it

>54 years

That's pure lunacy.

carl sagan

Federal drug laws are always like that, it's not uncommon for some random dude in a bar who gets hired to tend a weed farm to get 30 years in prison when the place gets raided. There are child rapists and murderers who get less time and all these dudes did was water some crops.

>dude just follow the law lmao
>BUT IF THE PIGS EVER COME FOR MY GUNS ILL KILL EM ALL!!!!!

cracker logic

I smoke weed and I've got a job and hobbies. Everyone else I've met is just degenerate lower class trash or abo/islander.

>killing cops to keep your guns
literally no one has ever done this

me neither, at least not in my town.

I do apply the same to alcohol. I do not use that substance either. I wasn't arguing productivity, but utility. Medical use for physical illnesses is permissible.

I spend about $50 every 5-6 weeks. I don't think I'd be better off not smoking. It helps me unwind from work and get to sleep earlier so I can get a proper amount of sleep.

Most of the time I can get an indica (not legal here so I don't always have a choice), which is great for calming me down.

literally hundreds of rappers in America, also willie nelson, lots of actors and some doctors, radio personalities, ceos of dispensaries, you are literally stupid as fuck and should kill yourself.

If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

It's just like all the idiots here in Toronto who opened pot shops because Weedman got elected and then got outraged when the cops raided their shops and took their shit.

This bitch is even dumber, though, because the Toronto people knew they weren't going to be sent to pound-me-in-the-ass prison for the rest of their lives.

do you use before work or social interactions? do you fear getting arrested for it? have you been arrested for it before?

>Well, two years later, Charlo Greene is now facing 54 years in prison for allegedly running an illegal marijuana shop.
So basically she was drug dealing...

>modern day lynching
OY VEY IT'S LIKE ANOTHER SHOAH

If you're going to engage in illegal activities, then why would you draw so much attention to yourself by quitting your job on live television and violating FCC rules in the process?

The thought process of this woman is baffling to me.

>Not Cocaine
Kill yourself

okay, sure, let's just legalize all drugs, surely that will help our society

I run a 3 county wide education company that I started from the ground up and I smoke every night.

This is retarded though. The way you are framing it, you are assuming these people would have been successful if they did not smoke weed.

>people are defending this scumbag negress

she knowingly broke the law because she felt her own opinion was more important

shes a dangerous cunt and should go to jail for life

t. pot smoker

Except the Constitution doesn't say that possessing marijuana is an inalienable right that shall not be infringed

>Sup Forums will unironically defend marijuana being illegal

keep licking those boots

>If you can't do the time don't do the crime.
Literally this, never do anything you're not prepared to face the consequences from.

Do you smoke weed before going to work ever?

Not before work. Yes before social interactions if I'm going to a party, or hanging out with friends who also smoke (or I'll just wait to get to their place).

I worry about getting in trouble even when I've done nothing wrong. Every time my boss says "can we have a meeting?" I'm like "oh shit what did I do?" 100% of the time it's just to talk about some mundane work thing. I've been like that my whole life. You actually can't even get arrested for it in my state (decriminalized), but it's still something I think about.

Never been arrested for anything. Worst I've gotten is a traffic ticket.

>vote to legalize weed
>put someone in jail for selling weed too early

land of the free

It's up to the state, but marijuana is degenerate if you don't have a medical condition that can be alleviated from using it.
You and I both know most people just do it recreationally, which I don't mind if it's legal but it's still degenerate to do.

this is correct

weed is an ambition killing degenerate drug

>rappers

opinion discarded

>activities i don't partake in should be made illegal

Worked just fine before the 1900s (technically 1880 opium trade ban). Or is 200 years of American history not enough?

Also is it legal in your area?

Are you implying using it has made you more paranoid?

states rights bro

KEEP CRYING FAGGOT

Weed is great for killing anxiety, depression, and ADHD. The kind of shit they prescribe literal fucking mind-control drugs for like Prozac.
I'd say it's a good alternative.

Gary Johnson was a CEO?

>I've been like that my whole life.
No, he isn't. You are looking for the slightest excuse to attack the plant.

this.

Rot in prison you dumb black bitch.

whats a CE-O?

no, i was asking him a question tacofriend. He didn't specify if he has also been smoking his whole life either. I asked him to get his opinion.

She didn't deserve this but her sentencing will at least give more ammo against the war on drugs. Locking people up for weed is the dumbest shit ever and was only ever done to get hippies and uppity negroes off the streets.

Aren't any past charges supposed to be dropped when something is decriminalized? Wtf burgers is this how your law actually works?

...

>Are you implying using it has made you more paranoid?

No I have been this anxious about everything my whole life. I was a straight A student didn't touch drugs until college and in Jr. High and high school I was constantly scared of getting called to the principal's office for no reason.

>She didn't deserve this

she broke the law and dealt illegal drugs so she actually does

>N-no I was just asking for his opinion
t. the guy who wants everything not productive banned

NO ALCOHOL
NO DRUGS
NO CIGARETTES

>smoking weed
Kill yourselves. Only failures at life smoke that crap.

Plus it stinks.

AYO HOL UP!
*smacks lips*
So, you be sayin
that this bitch had only 6 months left before the legalization of cannabis in her state, but couldn't wait, so she started her club and fucking peddled weed anyways, all in her name, and she doesn't understand why she's being "lynched"?

>anecdotal evidence
>having merit

pick one

also what is your measure of success? oh let me guess, how many dollary-doos someone makes. not whether they actually do anything useful or positive for society but how big they can get their imaginary number.

Is that some kind of victim-based pro-marijuana propaganda? It sure sounds like it. I'll believe it when she actually gets 54 years in prison and she's in prison.

SHE'S HOT
