I'm ok with that- Let's be truthful and fair here, I don't wanna be stained by your lies and misrepresentations
Nobody gets jailed for that...WTF are you talking about?
They were already in jail, you birdbrain. :rolleyes:

There are a lot of black guys down south who got long prison terms for possession. Drug laws like the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 created mandatory minimum sentences that resulted in vastly different penalties that disproportionately affected Black communities and led to long prison sentences for possession-related charges and lower-level drug offenses

I'm the last guy to defend Biden or black people, but we have to be intellectually honest or the libs won't believe a word we say- and as a freedom lover, I applauded Biden for pardoning those guys, and as an ultra conservative, I didn't want to spend 60k a year housing and feeding em...... for something I do every day... STAND FOR FREEDOM AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY for once in your life. President Biden’s recent mass pardon for federal marijuana convictions will do little to help those convicted at the state level. Some of my sources estimate there are roughly 30,000 behind bars for state marijuana possession charges. In those numbers, there are still at least 70 people serving a life sentence for marijuana charges that include no violence; according to the American Civil Liberties Union. Justice has certainly not been served for any of these men and women. Older inmates were serving sentences of life without parole and wondered if they would die behind bars...

WAKE UP! :snapoutofit:

NOBODY WAS IN JAIL FOR POSSESSION OF PERSONAL AMOUNTS! They were pled down to those to minimize their sentence! Many of those were violent charges that were dropped to possession!

Nobody....?

Why don't you Google that, Einstein


AI Overview:

The assertion that "nobody was in jail for possession of personal amounts of marijuana is an oversimplification and is not accurate nationwide. The reality varies significantly by jurisdiction

Here's a little tip for ya...Don't talk in absolutes, and if ya don't know. Speaking in absolutes means using definitive and unqualified language like "always," "never," "everyone," or "no one". This approach is often problematic because it oversimplifies situations, lacks nuance, and is almost always inaccurate, which can damage relationships and credibility. While absolutes can add emphasis, they are generally best avoided in favor of more precise language to avoid misunderstandings and to maintain a more thoughtful and informed position.

You've damaged your credibility here, and you've damaged our relationship- Congratulations! Dumb people talk like that- I learned that at the race track in the late 70's.. Morons would go on and on about how their horse couldn't possibly lose- Then you found out they bet $2 on it

It's called life experience and #social skills 101

"Biden pardoned..." You were specifically talking about the federal level as that is the only thing that Biden can pardon. STFU and quit moving the goal posts!
