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

Bummer about your dad.

Sadly, or I guess it's still a good thing, but this clemency right now, no one will be released from prison add might only impact about 6,500 individuals.

We need real reform and not just lip service and mostly-empty gestures
