Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think there's a significant difference between someone who caught a case for having an ounce on them and a guy busted with enough weed to fill a swimming pool, regardless of my personal feelings about marijuana. Framing it the way you are makes it sound like he's the former and that doesn't capture the scope of what he was up to.
Either way this guy is clearly a shit head. If you want to make the argument that all marijuana charges should be pardoned and expunged then I suggest you find a different poster boy for the campaign because this guy is not helping your case.
How am I framing it like he got caught with an ounce, my original comment mentioned the amount. Why should the amount matter, it's legal now, a dispensary is probably moving tons of marijuana a year, should the owners of those dispensaries be prosecuted simply because of the volume of the operation?
I will make the argument that all marijuana charges should be pardoned expunged in legal states because we as a society decided it's a relatively harmless substance and that we shouldn't be locking people up for possessing or selling it.
Yeah he's not the best poster boy, and Willie Horton isn't the best poster boy for furlough programs, and the guy who killed laken Riley isn't the best poster boy for immigration reform, hell kilmar garcia has charges equivalent to this guy. That's the thing about criminal justice reform, you don't choose your poster boy your opponent does. That's why you have to defend it on principal not individual cases, because there will always be someone who uses that reform and goes on to commit some atrocious act which your opponents will use as "proof" that the reform is dangerous.
