0 people will be released over this and it might only benefit about 6,500 individuals.

And most federal marijuana possession charges are with other more serious charges.

No one has been arrested at a federal level for simple possession only.

This was mostly lip service. It's looking like You're doing something without actually doing much. I know the office of the president can't control state legislature, but that's where the real action has to happen

I used to work on Federal Land and cited quite a few people with possession. Maybe a $100 ticket, no jail/arrest/etc, just a ticket, but federal. Honestly I felt like shit doing it. Really glad to hear this news because a few ppl I still remember seemed like nice normal young college kids that probably fucked em over a bit as they applied for jobs.

...but do you discriminate on which laws you enforce, and to whom? Just because they're going to the local college and seemed nice, do you not cite? You're enforcing laws based on discrimination, on your own biases? Why even be in law enforcement if you aren't going to do your job?..I am not in that field anymore.
