Why a lot of Black people are calling for all the marijuana offenders to be freed since its legal now, and people are legally profiting from the sale it? In my mind, it was illegal when you were selling it and smoking it, and that's why you're being punished regardless of what's happening NOW. Now the punishment may not fit the crime and that's another conversation.....but it was a crime and dassit. If in the future, the age of consent becomes fkn 14 across America, should the people in jail for statuatory rape be let go and receive reparations? To me the legalization of it doesn't make me feel that the people who are in jail are being done wrong for committing the crime when it wasn't. I don't get the outrage.

Because it's a petty ass offence to behind with  tbh

I agree it's a petty offense but laws are laws. I know that the punishments don't fit the crimes a lot of the time but everyone sitting in jail fkn knew.

I thought about this too and became conflicted.

I think I feel like the fitting thing to do would be giving out time served and reduction in sentences on a case by case basis

Because you've got a great point, when they get out, what other law are they gonna break because they don't agree with it, murder? grand theft auto? .... it does become a matter of principles thing

Would it make sense, hypothetically, that someone's time be extended if a particular crime was deemed even MORE offensive while they'd already been serving? Or would we all argue that modifications to the laws shouldn't have an impact on a sentencing already established?

I can see that

Well these laws were created to jail black men 

it was dumb then and dumb now 
free the girls 
and cage the Clinton's for creating it 

[L0NZ.]

Black men dont have to smoke weed 

[L0NZ.]

or sell it 

[GLOCK]

But they do 
like every other race 

the law was created to get them off the street 

[GLOCK]

And fill those prisons because of that dumb ass bill that was passed

Well given the disproportionate amount of black ppl locked up for years with felony charges on their first offense I think they all should be released and cleared. White ppl have about the same use rate and were not prosecuted for the most part of given sentences that didn't disenfranchise them from
 voting, employment, etc upon release. Weed was the stop and frisk of the drugs for black and brown folk tbwfhrn. It's really our legal system and lack of equality if everyone was getting  booked I'd feel a different type away instead of large percentages of minorities.

Free em depending on their record previously 

i can't really think of another crime as petty and ridiculous as having some weed on you.  Unless they were selling it to children and mess
