Well said.
Alcohol is 10x worse than cannabis lol
💯 percent agree. Prohibition please lol
@@angeline12345Commie loser
Truth
Over consumption of Alcohol is worse than weed.
According the charts and my Bactrack s80, I can have 5 miller lites and legally drive. So if I stop at a bar and I have 2-3 beers I’m good and legal. Once high, you’re compromised.
The reason I have a breathalyzer is because I will not drive if I’m even close to the limit. My career is partly dependent on my drivers license.
Completely. In fact, pay attention to all of the beer and liquor commercials/ads they have lately. Almost all of them are presented to us like holiday gatherings. Just bizarre to me.
Yes
He’s in the list
So?
How can he be on the list as a captain in the military and a governor of Maryland. 🤔
@katjam01kr
Just humor I know he’s not
Thank you. in Baltimore, they were locking you up standing, getting a taxi
“World War 3 begins on June 18th”… ‘New Nostradamus notice’
Tinfoil hat getting too tight?
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
My god 175,000 pot minor offenses! Sounds like there was a plan by the For-Profit Prison System to keep the cells full so they could make maximum money from the government! That means the police and Judges are getting paid to find people to put in those cells!
Maryland Correctional Enterprises (MCE), is the prison industry arm of corrections and one of the largest prison industries in the nation by sales.
Epic epic
Good luck, your biggest opposition will be the prison system. They need more people in their prisons so they can make more money . So you have to make something else illegal, like flying kites on Monday before 4 PM .
I bet all off the stupid cops in Maryland are pist off about this 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
Okay but are you gonna do something about the MURDERS and BURGLARIES happening under your watch?
Bravo, bravo well done. It’s about time.
MCE will surely protest because they will have 175,000 empty cells in their prisons!! Big money loss:
$42.5k multiplied by 175k people equals $7.5Millon a year. That is a lot of money and the nonprofit Prison system will no longer make
Illegal is illegal
And those panties stay dry no matter how hard you simp
Laws change
BRAVO 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫡✊🇺🇸🫡🇺🇸🫡🇺🇸🌎🇨🇦🙌🏻👍🫵✌️
Why won’t these pardons release any incarcerated individuals? Are they federal misdemeanors? This is great news. I dont think anyone should have been incarcerated for mary jane. I’m not a user myself. However, i dont agree that anyone should have been incarcerated for using it. Although, I have to admit I may try the gummies for pain management. I’m just now coming off several, several years of opioiod use for my pain!! Not to mention going through surgery and over $100,000 in costs for a spine stimulator being implanted to help my pain!!
Nobody’s in jail for smoking marijuana.
If they are. They made a plea deal from a higher crime to plead down to smoking marijuana
You have 263 Homicide. Please work on that
You’re just aggressively uneducated, aren’t ya Larry?
All ya had to do is go to any decent sized city and look into it. Did ya? No, because then you woulda had to read and think right? We learned at the start you’re not capable of something like that. 🤣
Thank you…why should some be in prison and others are selling it in shops now.
Okay now fix crime
Maryland will quickly become the new pothead capital of the US. Congrats, all the Demo(n)crats have done is weaken a nation.
IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!
Liver transplants due to alcohol consumption is legal
Yay, now we can enjoy an increase in driving under the influence.
America has many convictions on its record and havnt paid for one yet
Facts
Lol just keep letting the drug adics out and see how your community declines
lol *addicts* atleast learn how to spell before talking sound like a child
Good, about time! Release them all.
Finally!
Tell that to heels up Harris while she was looking mafuckas up
This is great. Now figure out how to get your judges to follow the law and stop using the Chancery Court as a weapon, or figure out how you are going to replace $2 billion in corporate taxes.
The tax man bs talk . glad he is waving this even though I do not partake still sucks everywhere you go all you smell is weed even in traffic

😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
No, it doesn’t erase convictions for specific crimes. But there’s nothing you can do about that. We can only make changes.
