FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - A former Kentucky State University student who pulled a handgun in a crowded student center has been sentenced to three years of probation.

Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate issued the sentence for 25-year-old Christopher Sims on Friday after assurances that he would get long-term psychiatric care and live with his mother in Mississippi, according to The State Journal (http://bit.ly/qW9bZW).

Sims pleaded guilty but mentally ill in June to several charges including unlawful possession of a weapon on school property. He was arrested March 2, 2010 after police say he threatened to kill everyone in KSU's student center cafeteria.

Do you think the Federal Government should recognize that marijuana and hemp are different varieties of the same plant?

Yes, they are different and hemp should be legal when states allow it

Both should be legal if states allow it
