didn't read the details yet, just saw it on twitter lol

in a perfect world they'd fund rehab programs at the same time they correct marijuana laws. i hope that ends up entering the conversation, but i'm sure people are still going to lump pot in the same category as meth, crack and any number of opioids.

How many people are doing federal time for simple marijuana possession? I'm guessing approximately 0 unless they plead down from something more serious.

6,500 people.

A pardon does more than free one from prison or parole, no? Your record is cleared, you're no longer a felon, and all the bologna associated with that

But you admit guilt to whatever crime you were accused of.

this is about cleaning records as much as it is releasing people from prison, if not more so. it's a shame it takes an election to get things done, but here we are. it's the right thing to do. finally.

Apparently, no one was still in prison on simple possession charges. This was about clearing felony charges for people who struggled with housing and employment.

I stand corrected. The only people that end up getting charged with this are those busted at the border, in courthouses, or DC.
/ other federal jurisdiction. They don't spend much time in jail.

It’s mostly about moving closer to legalized marijuana, and the sweet tax revenue it will bring in.

In California's experience, legalization ends up with more illegal (often cartel run) grows. Tax rate has to be pretty low for it to go any other way.

This. Important distinction here.

there's nothing bad about this unless you are afraid this will sway election results. and even it does does, marijuana reform is long overdue

Better than zero tax revenue, right guy?

And more illegal grows than before legalization? Care to share a citation for that one?
