https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_U.S._j...

Marijuana is legal or decriminalised in most of the developed world, including the USA. It's widely accepted to be relatively harmless, much less harmful than alcohol.

This guy? He was an entrepreneur, just another person running a small business with a couple of employees. He didn't deserver a long jail sentence for someone else's fuck up.

Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's wrong / just because it's legal doesn't mean it's rigth.

What do we call entrepreneurs that break the law?

Criminals.

What a way to avoid dealing with actual arguments.

Btw we don't.

Most law breaking in entrepreneurship is usually finable misdemeanours. Like 99.99% of it. We don't call those people criminals.

We who? Depends what law. If you broke the law that prevents harming other people then sure. If however the law is totally unjust (and some of them really are) they might be criminals only from the point of view of the crooks that make our governments and write laws. Me - I would call them victims of fucked up system where some self-righteous POS dictates how people should live their lives.

And yes. Money talk. The less money one has the less chances to get justice.

Didn't Uber start off by breaking laws just about everywhere it operated by being an unlicensed taxi service?

In my opinion its basically a miracle that Uber was ever allowed to operate.

The government seemed to just decide to enforce the law differently because computers were involved.
