A bill that mandates a sentence of up to life in prison for converting marijuana or marijuana oil into hashish is heading to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin's (R) desk after being passed by the state Legislature on Monday.

House Bill 1798 makes the conviction of a first time offense of manufacturing hashish a felony with a prison mandatory minimum sentence of two years and a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Hashish is made by compressing and heating glandular hairs from marijuana plants known as "kief." Chemical solvents can also be used to extract the psychoactive components of the marijuana plant, resulting in hash oil.

Under a second offense, sentences would be doubled and those convicted would be unable to receive a suspended sentence or probation...

5. Fookin' idjits...

Many, if not most, people using hash or hash oil are trying to consume the drug with fewer harmful byproducts.

This has no effect on the manufacture/dealership network for other, more harmful drugs.

More stupid law, more harmless people labeled criminals, more money for the repression industry.

The law seems to have no redeeming features whatsover. Punitive stupidity.
