I joined federal law enforcement in 1985 and in the 25 years I served I never saw anyone prosecuted federally for possession or use of MJ. Field agents would not even make an arrest in such cases because it would be a waist of time.

Since I retired I have still never seen such a prosecution.

If an agent were to present such a case to a federal prosecutor they would laugh you out of their office.

I suspect that these cases arise from plea deals. someone gets cough with 100 pounds of pot and the AUSA lets them plead down to simple possession. That happens all the time.

These people are traffickers and dealers.

They just don't have the stomach for that.

Exactly. This move is cynical as hell, because all the small time possession cases that people moan about are usually not at the federal level. This pardon obviously doesn’t impact those. Yet he is getting the PR boost like he just let helped out a bunch of average Joe potheads. At the cost of pardoning more serious offenders. I hate this administration.

Correct sir.
