Karey Lee Woolsey is currently serving a 151 month sentence (almost 13 years) for marijuana distribution conspiracy and possession with the intent to distribute more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana charges. Karey was facing minimum mandatory of 10 years to LIFE.
Karey states: “I knew it was illegal but at the same time I didn’t realize how severe the penalties were for marijuana offenses.” A big part of the problem and what most people don’t know is that marijuana is classified as a schedule 1 narcotic, a classification that says marijuana is more dangerous than cocaine and Oxycontin, to name a few. Federal statutes recommend harsh sentences for marijuana even though some states have decriminalized or even completely legalized it.
Despite Karey’s strong standing in his community, no prior history, and the non-violent nature of his offense, the judge was forced to follow minimum mandatory guidelines and sentenced Karey Lee to 13 years in a Federal Prison.
Karey is a First-time, non-violent marijuana offender who has paid the price for such a victimless crime. Karey’s incarceration will cost the taxpayers close to a half a million dollars for Karey’s incarceration.
Karey released a CD of his original music titled “A Million Miles Away” that he has written (prior to incarceration) and landed on the Billboard charts while he has been in prison. You can learn more about Karey Lee visit www.Kareylee.com and www. POW420.com
Show Karey some love and support and remember, that No-one belongs in jail for a plant.
