Meanwhile in New York, only prior drug offenders are being licensed to sell pot now. And they are eligible for millions of dollars of investment from the state, supposedly to be funded by part of the pot tax windfall before it's collected, meaning out of the treasury of our general tax dollars.

All the while "sticker stores" do a brisk and open business in unlicensed and untaxed over-the-counter sale of enormous quantities of weed, pot vape cartridges and candy-like edibles that children are poisoning themselves on in every corner of every village in the state, with nothing more than a general "don't do that" tut-tut from state level law enforcement, and while the state is pumping out non-stop advertisement for New York's not-yet-legal pot industry on television, the internet, and in print, directed at residents, children, and tourists alike.

I consider letting thousands of people out of prison who really shouldn't be there an important thing. Pot is less physically damaging than alcohol and on par in terms of intoxication. Never should have been illegal to begin with.

There are not thousands of people in federal prison for simple pot possession. There is in fact practically nobody in federal prison now for simple pot possession.

even this article only says there are thousands of people with convictions eligible for this pardon to clean up their record. And Biden doesn’t even know what year it is much less what these guys did to plea to a pot charge back whenever they were convicted.

If youre in Club Fed for Marijuana offenses you didn't mistakenly have a baggie of weed in your back pocket.

You were trafficking tons and tons of the stuff.

And according to the NY Post, “practically nobody” is in fact “nobody.”

The pardon “applies only to the roughly 6,500 people convicted federally of simple possession, of whom none are in prison.”
