Pot smokers are normally chill. They wouldn't as a rule pull a gun. That's left to the booze swilling and coke snorting.
Good to know you are good with convicted drug users buying and owning firearms.So? Should have happened a long time ago. Simple possession...of pot. Sheesh. Sure, that's a reason to crowd the jails.
The % of drug users who will now switch theor vote to (D) is, likely, impossibly low.and even though this is a good thing biden has done we all know its to get votes,, sorry joe you still dont get my vote,,
whats being convicted have to do with it???Good to know you are good with convicted drug users buying and owning firearms.
For simple possession. Not dealing. Not possession with intent to distribute.Good to know you are good with convicted drug users buying and owning firearms.
The most fanatical of the police-state supporters here are upset.
What good is cops planting drugs on minority suspects, if the drugs aren't illegal?
And how can our tax dollars get transferred to the prison-industrial complex and their big donations to Republican politicians if enough people aren't being jailed for pot possession?
Yeah, it's not that way in every state now, but progress is being made.
The pardon is the salad dressing. The meat (meaning $$) will be if they re-schedule it.The % of drug users who will now switch theor vote to (D) is, likely, impossibly low.
He should pretend he's a competent leader and work to repeal the laws that led to these offenses in the first place.President Biden says he will pardon all prior federal marijuana-possession cases...
That's what I was thinking. How many people actually have Federal convictions for "simple possession"?
The first step is to reschedule it. He said the right words but he's an old school drug war warrior, I'll believe it when it get done.He should pretend he's a competent leader and work to repeal the laws that led to these offenses in the first place.
Bandaid bullshit.
taking it off of schedule 1 is a big step .....that will help decriminalize it ....
