60 years? Do you have a source for this? I was under the impression that the maximum jail sentence for possession of a joint was 6 months - unless the joint has about 50lbs of weed in it, where it becomes a maximum of 20 years. Anything over 50lbs could get him 60 years I suppose. I can't find any information about that level of sentence being given out for a joint, even if you are caught smoking in prison.
