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.
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.
Legalize pot, pardon everyone in jail over it, clean their records, and stop the nonsense.

Not within Biden’s authority to pardon any state criminal.
