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

law back in the late 1980s. Last time he saw me he said:
“fuck chuck, you can kill somebody and only get 15 years.
This is crazy” I don’t know if he ever 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.
