Convicted Drug Dealer Sentenced To Writing 5,000 Word Essay On Dangers Of Pot

Terry Bennett, Convicted Drug Dealer, Sentenced To Writing 5,000-word Essay On Dangers Of Pot (VIDEO)

The writing is on the wall for convicted drug dealer Terry Bennett: He'll be going into jail next week if he doesn't finish a 5,000-word essay on the dangers of marijuana.

Bennett, 32, from Gloucestershire, UK, was caught with more 2 pounds of cannabis and admitted possession with intent to supply.

Bennett, who lives with his mom, was sentenced to 240 hours of unpaid work, but claimed a snowboarding injury made that impossible, according to the Metro.

Judge Julian Lambert came back with an alternative sentence: A 5,000 word essay on the dangers of drugs and their effect on society.

Bennett was shocked by the pot-related punishment because it's been years since he last wrote a report of this scale.
