I don't know about evil, but this guy must be the dumbest motherfucker on
the planet. The feds made it VERY clear when various states passed
decriminalization or "medical" pot laws that those local/state laws did
not change federal law. To subsequently break federal law, do so VERY
publicly, and then plead guilty to it (as opposed to say challenging the
federal law as an invalid use of the commerce clause or something) is the
height of stupidity. It's the worst possible play given the situation
because it's 100% guaranteed you will lose. You'd be far smarter to just
deal pot on the street corner.
I don't know if it's sound national policy to put drooling morons in jail,
but let's not kid ourselves - that's exactly why this guy is headed to
prison.

I'd agree with you as to the guy's stupidity IF he pled guilty in a
way that didn't allow him to contest the constitutionality of the law.
(I think federal laws against medical marijuana are probably
violations of Tenth Amendment-protected state sovereignty when states
clearly enact legislation allowing it.)
He also might have ended up in a situation where his case suddenly
collapsed around him, he ran out of money, or whatever, and pleading
was better than what he'd otherwise get.
But until I've seen the papers filed by his lawyers, I don't know
whether he was stupid. He might have reserved the right to a
constitutional challenge. If so, that would be cheaper than losing a
case, running out of money, and then trying to launch a constitutional
challenge with no money.

I agree there's some chance the federal law could be beaten if he went
that route.
However I believe all plea agreements effectively forfeit your right to
appeal. Or at the very least the first step of the appeal is trying to
convince some higher court to vacate the plea deal, which is typically a
non-starter and if successful puts you back in the same hot water you were
in before the plea.
Just plain dumb no matter how you look at it.

Not true. There are plea deals where you cop to the facts which would
result in a conviction under the law, but reserve the right to appeal
on the basis that the law itself is unconstitutional. I believe
there's a name for that kind of plea, but I can't think of it at the
moment.
The purpose of such a plea is to save the state and the defendant time
in arguing about the facts of the case, since everyone is agreed on
those, and get right to appealing, presumably on the basis that the
case would end up in appeals court very soon anyway. It saves
everyone time and money and cuts to the chase in a court whose opinion
actually matters. This serves judicial economy by saving scarce court
resources.

Some states allow a conditional plea ... some do not.

I refuse to admit anyone actually exists who thinks that throwing people
like this in jail is a good idea, so I sort of assume everyone will know
it's sarcasm.

When I read "evil person" and "scumbags" I though some one had finally sent
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd to prison.
