Dude it's weed. Let's not pretend its something detrimental. Plenty of people have jobs with alcohol related offenses.....the stuff should have never been illegal in the first place.
Well, I haven't been called "Dude" since '74,
BUT
What were the parameters for convictions, ( including amounts of marijuana confiscated, plea agreements to reduced charges,) what about possession during probation or parole. etc.... were these considered in his efforts? Does he need those votes that bad???
I don't think anyone has a problem with a 19 yr. old with two joints, EVEN THOUGH WHEN IT WAS ILLEGAL, IT WAS ILLEGAL. The cases went through a trial and evidence supported it was ILLEGAL.
But lets say a youth, age 17, was selling 4 ounces, some PCP, being charged as a YOUFFUL offender.... In juvenile court its reduced to simple possession and *poof*... gone...
How about a guy/gal on an ankle monitor banned from possessing, his agent shows up and they have .9 ounces. And tests positive for pot.
Was that spelled out in MOores doctrine??? Who knows....
And now, we willy-nilly create jobs for them???? What about the guys cutting trees and lawns that dont have this State benefit? What jerks they are huh?
