"But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes" - Jesus Christ, Luke 12:48 KJV. With Public Law 91-513, 84 Stat. 1242 (Controlled Substances Act), it has overly criminalized, rather intensely, for the possession of marijuana in the United States; hitherto, the effects of such criminalization has increased the incarceration rates of U.S. Citizens for merely possessing such a substance. As a result, this evidently harmed families, individual's employment prospects, and certainly playing a factor by halting economic growth with costly measures to maintain our correctional facilities. It's time for that audacity that you've written about, Mr. President, long ago as a young African American Patriot striving for Social Justice. El Pluribus Unum.
