"Police said Mizanskey conspired to sell 6 pounds of marijuana to a dealer connected with Mexican drug cartels." Taking that as true because we don't have anything else to go on, the Mexican drug trade is far from nonviolent. It is very easy to say that someone's actions were themselves nonviolent, but when they are aiding something that is very violent then it isn't so simple. I'd have much more sympathy if this guy had grown the pot in his closet and sold it to friends.
