    Officials said there are currently no Americans serving prison time solely on federal simple marijuana possession charges. But they said the number who had been charged with that crime was north of 6,500

    6500 out of 100k+ yearly is ‘nothing’

          I don’t really think it’s up to the President to explain the difference between federal law enforcement and state law enforcement 🤷‍♂️

            You’re literally arguing that Biden should tell states that state law supersecedes federal law…

                So your opinion is the Confederacy was right in the Civil War?

                And even if the federal government made slavery illegal, all the South had to do was ignore it?

                Because you just don’t seem to understand what you’re promoting…
