Yes, folks, possession with intent to distribute is a little more serious, duh.

WASHINGTON — Marijuana activists joined by well-known rappers plan to engage in “civil disobedience” outside the White House and Democratic National Committee offices Monday to push President Biden to honor his campaign pledge to free “everyone” in prison for marijuana after he issued limited clemency this month.
The activists say Biden’s Oct. 6 mass pardon of about 6,500 people charged federally with pot possession was “misleading” because it didn’t free any of the roughly 2,700 people in federal prison for marijuana dealing.
“There’s quite a bit of outrage, actually, in the cannabis community about what just went down,” said Adam Eidinger, one of DC’s most prominent marijuana activists and a coordinator of the protests.
“The whole country seems to think that Biden did something great,” Eidinger told The Post. “But to us, it’s a smokescreen to doing something real. And the real thing is to release people in prison.

Joe has always been an idiot. Even if it is Ron Klain pulling the strings, Joe will still eff it up just by being nearby.
The retarded pot heads want all the potty criminals back out on the streets with them.
D.C. is a hell hole of criminal corruption which affect all of us, yet these are the same people who for decades have been putting people in cages for pot.
Ya can’t make this s**t up.
For once I agree, it’s either all or none. No half ass stuff. Legalize pot, pardon everyone in jail over it, clean their records, and stop the nonsense. It’s all or nothing. The laws regarding marijuana only benefit the courts, DEA, Police, Lawyers and the Alcohol industry. Legalizing pot will have a negative effect on the DEA which will now have to lay off employees, local and federal police, jails will need less guards, prisons will have vacancies, and Jim Beam will see a drop in sales.
The failed war on drugs did nothing but grow the size of government in every direction.
Dummies. The fine print at the bottom always says qualifications for friends and family plan vary. Consult your local dealer for details.
So the dealers stay (until released by a Dem governor for Covid or overcrowding or problems with the lab that did the original dna evidence in court).
Yes, folks, possession with intent to distribute is a little more serious, duh.
Decriminalize marijuana. Jail government officials. Works for me.
They've been smuggling pot across the border for decades. If this is so damn serious, why has the government aided and abetted wide open borders to the point where they bribe people with gifts, prizes and benefits to enter? Or did they think the millions coming across weren't selling what the brought in?
IIRC marijuana possession charges are normally just an add-on to more serious charges.
Because the government is both corrupt and stupid.
I have no doubt the cartels who are worth billions, are paying off the corrupt politicians to ensure the border stays wide open forever.
WHO the hell GOES TO FEDERAL PRISON for simply possessing marijuana? Anyone?
…but will they remember come election time….Wait. What.😉
If I may put on my conspiracy hat for a minute, the more likely reason to me is that they want all that fentanyl to come in to help with population control.
When you’ve lost the potheads you’ve lost America.
I disagree, if you get caught importing 1000 LBS of pot at the border or are illegally growing 10,000 plants you deserve to go to prison. These are the people we are talking about here.
The fed-gov does not prosecute small chump change cases. (Agreed they might if it was a Republican) When I worked on the southern border if you got caught with less than 200 LBS the US Attorneys office would automatically decline prosecution.
The people in fed prison are not there for simple possession, they are there for importation and possession with intent to distribute. Most are cartel guys.
