Can anyone help me?

[Laura902]

I'm about to start a painting symbolizing the injustice of putting marijuana users in prison,
who can get up to the same amount of time as a person who has committed, what I believe to be a real crime(violence, robbery etc.)
The thing is I am in need of some reference materials to look at and maybe provide some inspiration for my own piece (propaganda posters, political cartoons).
Any help would be appreciated :)

"disproportionate sentences for pot" and came up with this story from 2006:

Dallas Morning News: It's usually not anyone's place in Dallas to tell Tyler jurors what to do or not to do in dealing with felons in their community. Smith County's law-enforcement officials are not accountable to outsiders on how they prosecute cases.

But here's the big "but": In sending defendants off to state prison, every county pushes the incarceration cost onto the rest of us. It costs roughly $50 a day to house offenders in Texas prisons.

And so it got our attention big time when a jury in Tyler sentenced a man to 35 years recently for possessing 4.6 ounces of marijuana, a sentence that tests our tolerance for prosecution of drug laws.
