I predict that Ross will not die in prison. Someone once told me that marijuana would be legalized in our lifetime. Seemed far out at the time but it has happened and will continue to happen across the country. Just a prediction but I think that Ross will be pardoned down the road.
Check what he was actually convicted of
Aiding and Abetting Distribution of Drugs
Continuing Criminal Enterprise
Computer hacking Conspiracy
Fraud with Identification Documents
Money Laundering Conspiracy
There's a good chance everyone will be able to get as stoned as they like wherever they like in the coming years. None of those conviction have a great deal to do with that.
