Since this episode was filmed and released in 2016, Bernard Noble was released from prison, in large part because of the attention his sentence received. Krishna Andavolu updates us on the story here: www.youtube.com/shorts/tfEHTK0B16s

Just so folks know - Bernard got out in 2018 and now owns a cannabis company that donates profits to fighting cases like his.
-
60 seconds in and already incredibly embarrassed…this is really what we’re spending time and tax payer money on? Playing dress up and flash banging a house to give someone a felony over some weed?? Shameful.
-
Hearing the genuine opinions of the featured police officers is one of the most telling aspects of this documentary.
-
Damn 13 years for 2 joints?? It's only right to smoke 2 joints whilst watching this documentary!!!
-
Absolute cruelty thats insane to lock a man up for 13yrs over $5 worth of weed.
-
"If the words life liberty and the pursuit of happiness don't include the right to experiment with one's own consciousness then they arent worth the hemp they were written on." -McKenna
-
13 years for two joints is wild.
-
“You can come out a gentleman and a scholar” Louisiana Sherrifs talking about sending people to prison in racist disproportionate rates.
-
Omg his lawyer, she is genuine ❤️
-
From Canada this is wild. You guys need to get with the times.
-
If weed puns are a sin, I’ll see you all inhale
-
the nerve of those racist cops for saying his family is broken when that is the most loving family i have seen in a long time and those cops probably beat their wives
-
Here in Brazil a lot of this happens, although weed is not yet legal here, if a young black man is caught with 2 weed cigarettes he is arrested, while a white person from an upscale neighborhood receives at most a lecture from the police.
-
Great episode. We really need to stop looking at people as numbers and start looking at them as people.
-
11:30 you don’t usually see lawyers like this, that’s the kind of lawyer you want on your team
-
What's worse, officers out of shape or a person carrying two joints? 🤔
-
He’s still locked up?!? I saw on the news this girl stabbed her bf 108 times & only got community service.. bc “she smoked weed” . Some bs & he gets 13 years for 2 joints
-
Raiding someones house over weed is a waste of time and money. They're endangering lives over a substance less harmful than sugar or caffeine.
-
That's fugged up, it's recreationally legal now in many states... Smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more
