Nearly a half-century later, marijuana martyr sees hope in Virginia

In March 1974, Roger Trenton Davis was sentenced to 40 years in prison for 9 ounces of marijuana, an unusually harsh punishment that would make him nationally known as the “marijuana martyr.” Today, possession of small amounts of marijuana is legal in Virginia. Davis is a free man. And the Southwest Virginia native, now 75, is making the best of both things. “That martyr? That’s who I am,” Davis said in an interview Thursday. “I believe that every person on the face of the earth should be allowed to enjoy God’s herb.” Davis spent hard time in prison for possessing an amount of marijuana that, under laws that took effect July 1, in most circumstances would be punishable by no more than a $25 fine.
