Yep. You could be jailed for 5 years for passing a joint to somebody who's been in rehab before, if this next wonderful piece of republican legislation becomes law: http://talkleft.com/new_archives/010374.html#mck
Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner has launched his next assault on freedom. The full House Judiciary Committee is set to vote as early as next week on H.R. 1528, which creates a new group of mandatory miniumum penalties for non-violent drug offenses, including a five year penalty for passing a joint to someone who's been in drug treatment.
That's right: Passing a joint to someone who used to be in drug treatment will land you in federal prison for a minimum of five years.
The "Defending America's Most Vulnerable: Safe Access to Drug Treatment and Child Protection Act of 2005" (H.R. 1528) was introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) on April 6, and it has already passed out of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.
There's a little more to it than that also.
Jesus why are the ignorant red-staters happy that someone in Washington DC is telling them how to live?

Basicly, I figure I pass a J at least 5 times when I'm smoking one. I smoke roughly 5 J's a day, that's being conservative. So that's 125 years worth of passing joints or 25 passes
I've always maintained that one must situate oneself directly to the left of a junkie when participating in recreational inhalation of cannabis. This method prevents you from ever passing a "J" to aforementioned junkie, as long as the traditional transfer protocol is followed.
