Pardon 1st Time Felony Offenders for Marijuana Possession Under Federal Law for Economic Growth!

Created by J.L. on January 08, 2013

"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.
