So how can't you see that the disparity in the enforcement of the law is whats causing the uproar? Like yeah, we know no one is forced to smoke, but if they do, the punishment should be comparable across the board. Then when you factor in de-criminalization and the overall trendyness of it now.....that's more than enough cause to re-evaluate. Just because it was a law doesn't mean it was a good one.

Probably because a lot of the narrative I hear is "you see how it's legal now?! They got nurseries and shit, profiting, and niggas in JAIL for doing the same thing!!" While there are people who go in depth as some of you have, a lot of what I hear/read sounds like the above, where people are upset that it was an offense to begin with, that people are in jail period, no matter the amount of time. And that's where I'm like a crime is a crime, while also acknowledging that there are a number of people suffering unfairly but to me that was an extension of the topic which I wasn't addressing.

Whet? Is this written in English?

I'm on the fence kinda.

I've wanted to do and try plenty of things but, knowing it was illegal, I made an effort to stay away from it....And even people who were known to use it often.

So if you know something is illegal, and you choose to still mess...it's kinda on you. But at the same time, it's such a silly thing to get locked up for.

A pretty weak analogy I'm about to make but I wanna still go for it lol:

I'd say it's like coming in late to work every day. Yeah you may still get your work done, but if company policy says you should be in the office by a certain time and you choose not to....You'll get written up eventually. It's a dumb ass, relatively avoidable thing to get written up for, and yeah some may feel....if you ultimately get your work done at the end of the day either way...Why should it matter?


But sometimes rules are just the rules. And if your coworkers see you're making no effort to follow the rules, they may question why they're putting so much effort into getting into work on time. Then, before you know it, everyone is coming into work late.... Or perhaps breaking or bending OTHER rules that are in place....Because it's clear that rules don't need to be followed in order to keep your job at this company, if someone is constantly breaking one of them and not being reprimanded.

Yes, the company may revisit their policies in the future and ask "Hmm, should we amend this a bit? Make it more relaxed?" But does that mean they should call you back for a rehire after you were fired for breaking rules regarding tardiness that were in place at the time? Or even feel bad for firing you after considering how strict they were with said policy? Some may say yes, some will say no.

I think this conversation is definitely complex. But ultimately I put in effort to stay out of trouble and abide by laws that are currently in place. .... But still feel bad that people are locked up for a couple ounces of weed or whatever.

I personally hate weed myself, the smell makes me wanna throw up
It's so obnoxious and ducking pungent
But I can't get behind serving a prison term or having a rap sheet because of it, the law was a stupid one to begin with, and the sentences carried out after was only created to target a particular group of people.
Like that ducking sagging law created somewhere in the south
They couldn't care less about some damn reefer smokers.
These damn white stoners and skater boys aren't getting booked, and if they are it's a slap on the wrist, it's the little black boys that are getting the short stick of it.

Why aren't there more whites in prison for heroin, meth and cocaine since that's the drug more likely to be sold and used by them and more dangerous?
The law is the law when its equal and its serving and protecting everybody.
Not marginalising, demonising a particular set of people.

!!!  If it's legal now, who did they really harm?  Jails are crowded and full of too many Blacks as it is.  We were the ones most affected by those laws.

The law is supposed to be black and white
But if the law evolves so should the sentencing
And the law needed to be broken inorder for it to be changed
Thats why pardons are given sometimes

Jsut like stand ur ground law
It can be used to justify travyons case
But others have trouble invoking it in the same way

Its supposed to be black and white but pur laws and sentencing should not contradict
Which is why we have ammendments to our constitution
