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

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.
