“Look folks, no one should be in jail for merely using or possessing marijuana. Period,” he said. “Far too many lives have been upended because of a failed approach to marijuana, and I’m committed to righting those wrongs.”
You’ll still go to jail, but the president says he personally feels like you don’t deserve to.
