I knew someone who got arrested for a roach under these at 18 - she could have gone to jail for 7 years. Fortunately - she was able to hire a lawyer associated with the youth center she went to in HS.

The headline and this sentence are confusing. The Rockefeller drug laws were enacted in 1973. This is the tenth anniversary of the reforms, which happened in 2009.
