After Hunter Biden Pardon, President Biden Asked to "Extend Same Compassion" to Cannabis Prisoners

[@TheSecularAtheist-t4p]

I mean, we got weed stores on every other corner in my city now. People still being in jail for dealing weed at this time is ludicrous.

[@rashira9610]

"People still being in jail for dealing weed at this time is ludicrous." TF? If you're not working for the legal cannabis industry, you have no legal protections. If you wanna sell weed so badly, apply at a dispensary. No excuse for selling illegally on the street to dodge regulations and taxes. I say this as a stoner.

[@Chulitatr]

Right on. That's the government and politics are a 💩🤡show. As a paralegal, I find it abominable that the SCOTUS justices violated their oaths to uphold the constitution and the rule of law. There' are no morals or pride in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars. I knew they were corrupt the day Justice Robers walked in with the Trumplicans at Trump's 1st impeachment hearing. 😫🤮😡

[@aznosu]

You know how to end this... WEALTH CAP... but that is too much for poor Americans to demand bc they are sold on the lie that many of them will indeed become ultrawealthy. Hence, the world since the times of Kings and Queens, has allowed the very few to hoard wealth, power, fame, etc at the expense of the ppl. NO ONE can do anything ALONE but they can with the help of others but they ALWAYS forget that they need others hence they are self entitled to all the profits while squeezing their help to the brink of crime.

[@bweduwabango2064]

People quit trusting politicians, not billionaires. Also it's a fallacy that if you're a Billionaire you're inherently bad.

[@aznosu]

@@bweduwabango2064 It's a fallacy to not think about human nature.... Yes Billionaires are like all ppl, not inherently bad but human nature will lead most ppl to a selfish and self serving path when they are over compensated. Billionaires are those who are over compensated bc they benefit from all the work of their staff... if you think this is fair then you shouldn't complain about anything about the world bc it means you "accept" that the world is how it should be regardless of fairness. If you understand and accept this, then you won't support billionaires bc you understand that NO ONE can single handedly contribute that much to humanity... of course many like to believe in gods amongst them hence they are okay to worship ppl just for it.

[@JVDTV-channel]

I am a conservative but I agree that no one should be in prison for cannabis. It's ridiculous that it's even illegal. What's even more ridiculous is that alcohol is legal.

[@jefferyyounce5372]

Huh, the indictments weren't cannabis. Tax evasion and others

[@geraltrivia6148]

@@jefferyyounce5372 Hunter Biden's convictions weren't cannabis related but his father used his addiction to crack cocaine as an excuse for his crimes, and his recovery as an excuse as to why he shouldn't be held accountable for those crimes. (Or any other crimes he may have committed or been a party to in the same eleven year period) It's a blatant and elitist double standard to hyper-criminalize weed, imprisoning thousands of low-income people for victimless crimes & keeping them in prison even after those crimes are no longer illegal, while giving a family member a pass for a $million fraud because they were on cocaine at the time. If Joe Biden cared about addicts in general, he would have pardoned all of the non-violent drug offenders currently in prison and made addiction rehabilitation a presidential priority. He didn't.

[@johnsimpson9530]

I'm a 78 year old Canadian "HIPPY"and remember the days when just having a "joint" in your possession could easily put you in jail and basically ruin your future. I can't tell you how happy I am that I lived long enough to see it legalized in Canada. Those were the days when smoking a doobie and getting happy made you a maddened criminal. For anyone who wants a look at how marijuana was perceived in the past, watch " Reefer Madness". It was a short film put out by the government showing the public what will happen if they smoke the devil weed. Very funny and fun to watch the government propaganda machine at work spreading lies. It worked for a while until people started smoking weed and realized what their government was telling them was total bullshit.

Meet 'The Brothers' Who Shaped U.S. Genocidal Policy, Inside And Out who WORKED FOR HITLER and fow AMERICA all at once WHO MURDERED JOHN F. KENNEDY - JOHN FOSTER DULLAS AMERICAN SERIAL KILLERS In 1953, for the first and only time in history, two brothers were appointed to head the overt and covert sides of American foreign policy. President Dwight Eisenhower appointed John Foster Dulles secretary of state, and Allen Dulles director of the CIA Journalist Stephen Kinzer says the Dulles brothers shaped America's standoff with the Soviet Union, led the U.S. into war in Vietnam, and helped topple governments they thought unfriendly to American interests in Guatemala, Iran, the Congo and Indonesia. In his new book, The Brothers, Kinzer says the Dulles' actions "helped set off some of the world's most profound long-term crises." John Dulles died in 1959. President Kennedy replaced Allen Dulles after the covert operation he recommended to overthrow Fidel Castro in Cuba ended disastrously in the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion. Kinzer tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross that the Dulles' shared background and ideology played out in their policy decisions: "They had this view of the world that was implanted in them from a very young age," Kinzer says. "That there's good and evil, and it's the obligation of the good people to go out into the world and destroy the evil ones." DULLES BROTHERS WERE THE MOST EVILEST IN HISTORY- MORE EVIL THAN EVEN ADOLPF HITLER!!!!!!
