sounds like a load of nonsense to me
Explanation:
are you sure it isn't a bad typo? it looks, all in all, like some kind of machine translation.

maybe it means deemed condemned... but if this is the text your dealing with, that is just the tip of the iceberg!!

agree  Sarah Ponting: completely agree - how can you even start translating it?

agree  Chris Rowson (X): Yes, probably machine translation, it´s certainly completely unintelligble. Condemnation is maybe an error for conviction. But weed?
11 mins
agree  PAS: unless we're speaking of someone condemned for posession of weed... but that's stretching it, isn't it?
12 mins
agree  RHELLER: maybe if we knew which country this was for, we might begin to speculate - very strange

re-convicted


Explanation:
I was about to agree with everyone else that this is a complete and unintelligible load of gibberish. However, it strikes me that if indeed condemned should be convicted, then weed condemned might be re-convicted. Does it begin to have an possible glimmer of sense about it then?
