Obama should pardon all that are serving time for smoking a leaf

Obama should pardon all that are serving time for smoking a leaf...Yep, he should blanket pardon every person that was wrongly imprisoned because of our stupid laws against smoking pot.

He should then spend the rest of his presidency to get it legalized federally.

How many hundreds of thousands of black young men would be released and given a second chance?

Sure, no reason to jail people who buy the products of terrorist drug cartels and keep the violent assholes in business. LMAO

 

[LA RAM FAN]

indeed.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Billions of dollars for infrastructure, science and education! Far more people working and going to school. Sounds wonderful.

Come on Obama....Do it!

 

[Iron Head]

That sounds like legislating, which is not El Presidente's job. Policy matters are reserved to the people.

The majority of drugs sold by a cartel is gonna be the smaller packages, but it won't be weed....

I don't think anyone's in prison for just SMOKING. More like selling .

 

[Staidhup]

You are correct Timmy, according to the department of Justice report from several years ago possession did not land you in prison, intent to distribute, and sell did, however, with minor time spent, or sentences waived. In fact states released "minor crime" as defined by hemp related during the period of overcrowding. Now selling, smuggling, transporting, cocaine, heroin, crack.... are different stories.

I'd love to see Obama embrace the Libertarian stance of legalizing drugs and shrinking the population in our prisons... Sadly for you widdle Mattie, you voted DUMB-O-CRAT so you git more people in jail and more regulations on drugs.

What. You think "black young men" are the only ones that smoke pot? How very racist of you.

Actually drug legalization is about the only thing Democrats get right, when it comes to sex and drugs they're all for individual liberty..... on everything else they're generally hyper-authoritarians.

Did Democrats legalize drugs on a federal level that I don't know about? Even on a state level, did democrats do that or just "the people"?

He can only pardon those convicted of federal offenses. Merely smoking is not a federal offense. Trafficking is a federal offense. Only a governor can pardon those convicted in state court.

Democrats are for destruction. Anything that can be destructive, even if remotely, they support.

Naw but at least they pay lip service to the prospect, so I give 'em some credit.

[koshergrl]
