Didn’t Biden pardon marijuana convictions? Or am I just high?
This stuff just makes my blood boil. Those 3 assholes on the parole board are complete sociopaths. There’s absolutely no justice here.
Someday we’ll learn that these types of positions are only ever occupied by sociopaths, psychopaths, sadists, and those full of hate. Then we’ll realize that the institutions they are part of were designed by the same type of people. Then hopefully finally we’ll realize that every state institution was designed by this same group that believes they know the right way for everything and feel entitled to force their ways on everyone else.
Well, political positions, yes. But there are tons of government employees around the country that are just normal people working at a regulatory agency. The overwhelming majority of them. They’re just doing their job.
At least for now. SCOTUS is very close to changing that.
Right, there are many employees of the state with no power, these positions I’d expect are mostly not staffed by dark tetrad types. The DMV though, pretty sure that’s staffed by mostly sadists.
2.2 -100lbs is a massive range especially when the weight every part of the plant. That’s a difference of growing enough for a month to smoke and supplying the neighborhood. Two massively different goals.
Another reason not to visit Alabama
Biden, pardon this dude
He literally does not have the legal power to do that.
Biden has pardoned a lot of federal marijuana charges, but a core part of the Constitution is that the federal government’s authority to interfere in state justice systems is very limited.
Not a federal crime or prison. Either the governor would have to pardon him, or he would have to get his appeal all the way to SCOTUS and get his conviction overturned. Neither of which seem very likely, unfortunately.
The age of consent in Alabama is 16.
Let’s not act like we were expecting much from alabama.
They also just barely avoided voting for a fucking pedophile who would go cruising for little girls at the mall to the extent that they had to ban him. That state is backwards as all fuck.
It’s 16 in Minnesota and 17 in New York, but 18 in North Dakota. Let’s not act like a higher age of consent is directly tied to progressive policies.
So those are more states I wouldn’t expect much from either but it doesn’t lessen the “ew” I feel for Alabama.
Also, Washington state, a solidly blue state. But also, let’s not suggest being allowed to drive a death machine is less responsibility than having sex, drinking, or voting.
What could the parole board’s justification for denial possibly be? I don’t see any risk from this guy, unless there’s something more nefarious than 2.2 lbm of pot going on.
The cruelty is the point, as they say.
That law provides several different levels of trafficking, and Hotchkiss was convicted under the lowest level – having between 2.2 lbs and 100lbs. That weight includes all parts of the plant, root and stem and all.
40 years, jesus fucking CHRIST.And dirt they made sure to water.
This is stupid, why is the lowest charge range so big. 2.2 lb to 100 lb that is a huge range and you’re telling me there is ranges higher than that? He already has life in prison the hell do they do with the higher ranges
An old pot grower’s adage goes something like: if the sentencing minimum is for between 1-99 plants, you might as well grow 99.
People like Bud serve as the real life example for this kind of saying sadly.
Don’t break the law
I guess you must be trolling. Do you think 40 years for growing Cannabis to be justified?

Didn’t return your grocery cart? Straight to jail.
“Stray to Yale.”
He probably did something while in prison
He never should have been there in the first place.
It is what it is am I right fellas
my wife went to high school with a guy that’s in AL prison for the same thing. I forget what his sentence was, but it’s long too. this was a recent conviction. the guy’s been in there for 4 or 5o years now and doesn’t expect to get out any time soon. in high school, his nickname was jesus due to him having long hair and generally being a super nice guy.
some of you read about stories about the cruel injustices of living under conservative rule. i’m directly connected to many instances. i could tell you more horror stories. violence is the only answer i see at this point.
It’s Alabama… so sadly predictable
Dude should try to overthrow the government and attack some police officers, he’ll be back home in 2 to 5 years
Meanwhile, Trump’s a free man, goose stepping around in his fucking lift shoes, with 91 Federal charges against him. This country is so backwards.
Kind of makes you want to stop obeying laws, doesn’t it?
I’m just this here: Eco-Defense
I’m a commoner and I haven’t lobbied any lawmakers, so the law still applies to me
Get out of here troll
I think the voting system has established that you’re the troll.
I still think it’s you. A lot of foreign actors want the U.S. system to collapse. Maybe you’re not, but your earlier comment sure sounded like it. People are downvoting me bcz they misunderstood what my comment was directed at. I actually agree with the sentiment, but ignoring all of our laws outright is a good way to have no government at all.
Go to bed, you have a 12h shift at 6am tommorow.
I do not, I woke up at 8:50 this morning.
and biden is out running for president too after promising to legalize and police reform and firing staffers for using cannabis
people seem to still support him too
US elections are fucking insane
like watching clones dressed in different skins begging for votes with whatever empty promises they think and know the populace will eat up
