    Are there a lot of federal charges for simple pot? What is the pot charge is in connection with something else ?

    Um. YOU'RE the only one who wrote it.
    No one else did.
    Talk about nonsense (literally) writing itself.

    People are so shackled by a system depending on back ground checks for employment.

    I have literally gone to bat for good people, by telling my HR dept I am willing to take the arrows if it backfires. Fortunately I have an HR dept that is willing to do things case by case and We have been blessed with good people because of it.

    I support this move, though it seems it wont impact many at the federal level.

    But even if its a pandering move, its still the right one.

    My first ever visit/post in THFSG:)

    I don’t have a problem with this at all. I’m not a pot smoker but see no reason it shouldn’t be legal right along with alcohol.

    Is simple possession only misd or is Fed system only Felony type.

    I would be shocked if there is anyone in Federal Prison for simple possession. Most probably it was an add on with other charges?

    I think most people in prison for weed are there because it violated their robbery probation;)

    That said, the horse has left the barn with weed. Treat it like alcohol. Puffalizer coming for DUI ;)

    A guy I graduated with went to prison simply for possessing pot......Of course he possessed about 7 tons on his commercial fishing boat.

    While the rest of the country tries to crawl outta the stone age, Colo once again is 1 step ahead. already decriminalized in Denver....

    What would Proposition 122 do?
    See also: Text of measure
    Proposition 122 would decriminalize the personal use and possession (for adults age 21 and older) of the following hallucinogenic/entheogenic plants and fungi, which are currently classified as Schedule I controlled substances under state law:[1]

    • dimethyltryptamine (DMT);
    • ibogaine;
    • mescaline (excluding peyote);
    • psilocybin; and
    • psilocyn.
    Anyone who completed a sentence following a conviction related to the personal use or possession of such psychedelic plants and fungi would be able to file a petition asking a court to seal the record of the conviction.

    Proposition 122 would also:

    • create a natural medicine services program for the supervised administration of such substances;
    • create a framework for regulating the growth, distribution, and sale of such substances to permitted entities; and
    • create the Natural Medicine Advisory Board to promulgate rules and implement the regulated access program.[2
    Colorado Proposition 122, Decriminalization and Regulated Access Program for Certain Psychedelic Plants and Fungi Initiative (2022).

    DeSantis has the power to do this in Florida, and I'd applaud him for it.

    Might want to check out “How to Change Your Mind” on Netflix if you haven’t already.
    Good documentary.
    I learned it is perfectly legal to buy Psilocybin spores - and there are companies that will sell them- because they contain no Psilocybin and they send detailed instructions on exactly what you shouldn’t do to grow Psilocybin mushrooms along with growth medium you shouldn’t use for the Psilocybin spores you bought that would get you in trouble. Ever since I watched it I’ve been getting ads for those spores on FB.
