Re: "A lot of convictions for possession are the results of a plea bargain deal..."

At the federal level, almost 100% of marijuana convictions involve a plea deal, or a probation violation, or a parole violation.

At the state level, that percentage is lower, but not hugely lower.

The pardon might be fair for people who got convicted in the 1960s and 1970s, when marijuana laws and enforcement were a lot more strict.

There are few dealers who exclusively
sell marijuana. And often they are in ol Ed in other crimes.

I know there are some small timers but Im guessing that’s not what we have here.
