I talked to my nephew yesterday, and he told me it was a sting operation. His
friend had 3 ounces, and the fed asked to "buy some". They sent him up for 10
years and he got out in 8. At the time he was 21 years old.
IMO, the whole drug classification system is broken, and is mostly a tail
wagging the dog operation.

My guy was in Nevada state prison as I recall. He said it was due to the
three strikes law and was due to pot possession. I presumed with intent to
distribute. I always thought it was a shame. No idea if he was telling the
truth. Was an employee, was on probation at the time. He was a thief and
stole from the company but I handled that internally in an attempt to help him
out. In the end he screwed himself.

I would tend to agree with this, steve. If you're in federal prison for
marijuana it's because you got busted for a quantity that was enough to
distribute. You may have pled down to simple possession to avoid having to go
to trial where you probably would have gotten a much larger sentence but the
feds aren't out making traffic stops and busting people for having a dime bag
in their car. Anyway, presidents can pardon whoever they want for whatever
reason they want. This is a vote buy plain and simple. If Congress wants to
change the law then it's up to them, but this is pandering at best and does
nothing to stop it going forward after this soft on crime administration leaves
office. Congress should get off their ass and change the law or people should
pay for doing the crimes. That's how it's supposed to work.

Nobody goes to federal prison for just simple possession of marijuana. I
so hate that tripe. Just like the third striker who went up for life for
stealing a pack of gum. He went for committing too many crimes and still
stealing gum when he knew the consequenses
First of you go to prison for felonies, not misdemeanors. So theres no
"simple possession" it's a word game to make it sou d like Johnny quire boy got
10 large for a joint. No, Johnny had carry weight and got nabbed cause hes not
very good at being a criminal.
I'll be glad when they decide whether the classification of marijuana is
a mid term or 2024 vote purchase so this is all behind us anyway.
It's sad that something that should ha e been changed decades ago keeps
being pocketed as a hail mary for a losing election team

I know a guy that got life for weed under the three strikes law back
in the late 1980s. Last time he saw me he said: “fuck chuck, you can kill
somebody and only get 15 years. This is crazy” I don’t know if he ever got
out.

Took long enough. No one should be in prison for simple possession of
weed. It turns non-violent criminals into something worse than that. I'm sure
it's traumatizing for those incarcerated for something that didn't hurt anyone.
Why put people in prison for weed but sentence people way less time,
or not at all, for physical abuse, battery, sex crimes, etc? It's sick!
We see too many black people in prison for weed but white people get
charged less or are released on probation for rape with evidence. Particularly,
young white men who "have a future" and the judge wouldn't want to ruin their
life. Forget about the woman they raped, it's just boys being boys.
Obviously not every judge is a shit head racist, but some of them are
and they should be weeded out. The US incarcerates way too many people as a
whole.

behavior
or something, but the kid wasn't even 21.
