    That’s not true. Federal law enforcement does pursue weed charges, as it’s still a scheduled substance. Biden also did not pardon all weed charges, only some simple possession cases. Where are you getting your information from?

      If the federal government was actually treating weed sale and possession like a drug crime, half the state governors would be in jail for criminal conspiracy and every dispensary’s accounts would be frozen.

      There is no one in federal prison for possession alone. Other charges, sure, and pigs going to pig on charges, but in 2022 when Biden pushed out the last round of pardons and expungements there was literally not one person in federal prison for possession. They also will not arrest growers or farmers (though they will confiscate it under some circumstances)

      Now, remind me.

      What “crime” were you whining about her, or your hypothetical Dutch tourist, committing again?
