Trying to buy every vote he can.
Student loan forgiveness. Marijuana sentence forgiveness.
What’s next? Tax debt forgiveness? That’ll never happen.
Pandering to the “hey,man..this is really kool $hit” community.
How many were big time traffickers that plea bargained down to “simple possession”? DOH! Bet the lame stream media won’t be asking that question will they? š¤¬š¤”
Absolutely. The correlation between pot and crime has been well-documented since the 1930s, and it’s only getting worse.
I can’t even imagine the outcry in the media had a Republican pardoned drug offenders.
Does this include Hunter?
Every state that has legalized pot has seen increased crime and taken on Third World Sh!thole” status. Joey Crappy Pants now wants to spread that to the entire country.
FJB
Guessing these convictions that are being pardoned are actually not that simple. I suspect most of these possessions were either a third strike after two more serious convictions, or were not one or two ounces of MJ, but of drug amounts in the trafficking range, or some other factor that puts a lie to the spin.
I think he has it assbackwards.
The legislative branch needs to change the laws, the FDA needs to change the classification (marijuana is currently a Schedule I controlled substance, federally illegal to possess or use), before he starts issuing blank pardons for people who violated federal laws his handlers donāt agree with.
Iām pretty sure the swearing in oath that the politicians take when assuming office, doesnāt include an āopt-outā provision for the laws they donāt agree with. Personally, Iām not a fan of legalizing any drugs, but I am a fan of the Constitution and the Constitutional processes.
Ya know - - I don’t smoke the weed. Apparently it can make you stupid and psychotic but in order to cope with idiocy of this regime I m ight take it up!
Very few if any people in federal prison are there for what he is giving pardons for.
Nobody goes to Federal prison for simple possession
Plea deals to hide the gun charges and drug trafficking
I don’t think any of Trump’s pardons were for crimes as serious as marijuana possession.
I’m a RED state pot-user who thinks this is a good idea. Republcans oppose this at their own peril. Plenty of Red state folks are po users
When the Washington legislature was getting ready to decriminalize pot, one of them asked an aid find out how inmates there were in the state correctional facilities for marijuana. Out of 17,000 in the system, one was there for marijuana. They legalized it anyway and still cheered about how decriminalization would relieve congestion in the stateās prisons. The rats are shameless.

“..The correlation between pot and crime has been well-documented since the 1930s, and itās only getting worse....”
Yep. It’s also considered a “gateway drug” to harder stuff by many folks.
In addition to the crime increase, it also takes its toll on the general workforce. Getting reliable people that will come to work on time and stay focused on what their job is becomes more difficult where this stuff is legalized. There’s always additional “unintended consequences” to this kind of BS, but a RAT just doesn’t get it or even care.
