  1. Does this include those who faced more serious drug possession charges, but took a plea bargain to the less serious charge of marijuana possession?

    1. Marijuana is a Schedule 1 under Federal law, so using marijuana as a “lesser charge” for a plea bargain wouldn’t be a thing.

  2. Almost zero folk are in or out of federal prison for pot only possession. The feds don’t get involved in small stuff. Joe talks like there are thousands. The one thing he should do is decriminalization of pot. Then close the border.
