The More Act

 

Last night I was able to talk Craig Cesal who has been a good friend for many years,

Craig was one of the people serving life for pot who received clemency from President Trump on his last day in office, Jan. 21,2021.  For someone who was suppose to die behind bars, being free is a miracle for Craig and all the other nonviolent people who were sentenced to die behind bars for a nonviolent marijuana offence.

Unfortunately, there are still people who fit this profile who did not win the lottery of clemency or compassionate release.  Many are hopeful that the More Act will give them back their life.  Unfortunately, the More Act falls short of this hope.

The Cannabis Industry and the Criminal Justice System will have no integrity as long as these people are caged until death.  

The most logical way to right this excessive punishment would be presidential clemency for marijuana offenders as a category.  

This is Craig's piece about why the More Act may be false hope for many.  Prisoners Left Behind
