I would tend to agree with this, steve. If you're in federal
prison for marijuana it's because you got busted for a quantity
that was enough to distribute. You may have pled down to simple
possession to avoid having to go to trial where you probably
would have gotten a much larger sentence but the feds aren't out
making traffic stops and busting people for having a dime bag in
their car. Anyway, presidents can pardon whoever they want for
whatever reason they want. This is a vote buy plain and simple.
If Congress wants to change the law then it's up to them, but
this is pandering at best and does nothing to stop it going
forward after this soft on crime administration leaves office.
Congress should get off their ass and change the law or people
should pay for doing the crimes. That's how it's supposed to work.

Nobody goes to federal prison for just simple possession of
marijuana. I so hate that tripe. Just like the third striker
who went up for life for stealing a pack of gum. He went for
committing too many crimes and still stealing gum when he
knew the consequenses
First of you go to prison for felonies, not misdemeanors. So
theres no "simple possession" it's a word game to make it
sou d like Johnny quire boy got 10 large for a joint. No,
Johnny had carry weight and got nabbed cause hes not very
good at being a criminal.
I'll be glad when they decide whether the classification of
marijuana is a mid term or 2024 vote purchase so this is all
behind us anyway.
It's sad that something that should ha e been changed
decades ago keeps being pocketed as a hail mary for a losing
election team

got out.

Took long enough. No one should be in prison for simple
possession of weed. It turns non-violent criminals into
something worse than that. I'm sure it's traumatizing
for those incarcerated for something that didn't hurt
anyone.
Why put people in prison for weed but sentence people
way less time, or not at all, for physical abuse,
battery, sex crimes, etc? It's sick!
We see too many black people in prison for weed but
white people get charged less or are released on
probation for rape with evidence. Particularly, young
white men who "have a future" and the judge wouldn't
want to ruin their life. Forget about the woman they
raped, it's just boys being boys.
Obviously not every judge is a shit head racist, but
some of them are and they should be weeded out. The US
incarcerates way too many people as a whole.
