Life for Pot

Life for Pot We are an organization that spotlights offenders who have received the sentence of Life without Parole for marijuana offenses.

Civil forfeiture is so much broader than any ordinary civilian knows or would want to believe.

The government can take your money and things. And those of your loved ones. All without anyone being convicted of a crime. Taking on the basis of their *accusations*.

Here it is folks, in all its glory: 4+ pages of uninterrupted Paul Clement on all the reasons Chevron shouldn't be upheld under stare decisis.

Urging Congress to stay focused and committed to #TheFirstStepAct, ROC Senior Fellow @JaRonSmith04 testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and reminded them that “Safety for all Americans should not be political.”

Great addition to the knowledge base on this topic! Second chance hiring is the right thing to do and it makes good business sense to boot!

[Clark Neily @ConLawWarrior]

Friendly reminder that in a system which is completely indifferent to the use of coercion to induce guilty pleas, a person’s decision plead guilty tells you nothing whatsoever about their guilt or innocence. There may be other indicia of guilt, but the plea itself is meaningless.

What are you reading this weekend?

You don’t drop something after 5pm on a Friday before a 3 days weekend unless you want to bury it. The only question is why?

[Life for Pot @lifeforpot]

@natsfert This is a cynical attempt to show progress toward marijuana policy reform. Moving marijuana to schedule 3 on the CSA does nothing for drug reform. It will only provide cannabis businesses with an opportunity to mirror the pharmaceutical industry.

HAPPY FRIDAY 🤯

@Oslerguy @RachelBarkow @chrisgeidner @SLandP @PresVischer @VanJones68 @JoshuaBHoe @candoclemency Agreed: A significant gap remains between @POTUS’s actions and his ambitious promise to reduce the federal prison population by over 50%. With 157,640 individuals still behind bars, can we reasonably expect a reduction of, say 50,000 (less than a third)?https://t.co/Qbi5SGBHQo

The idea that you would defer in any way, shape, or form to people like this on questions of constitutional law or due process—or that you’d invent immunity defenses out of whole cloth to shield them from meritorious civil rights claims—is just bonkers. /1 https://t.co/PRkeX3e2lr

[Clark Neily @ConLawWarrior]

You’d almost have to be a member of a govt body that’s wildly disproportionately composed of people who used to work for and within the law-enforcement community. Which, as it turns out, precisely describes our judiciary. /end https://t.co/fRezBUCMUC

@beezerism For ten lousy marijuana plants. Despicable.

If you ever forget that our criminal justice system is a practical and moral train wreck, don’t worry—it’ll remind you. https://t.co/j1hDGi4n69.

@MikoyBass @POTUS Support the removal of marijuana from the controlled substance act and grant commutations to all nonviolent marijuana offenders in federal prison.
