WHEN WARS END - CLEMENCY IS GRANTED 

TODAY'S CANNABIS BUSINESS PLAN IS YESTERDAY'S MARIJUANA CONSPIRACY

END THE FAILED WAR ON MARIJUANA

WE NEED CLEMENCY FOR A CATEGORY OF PRISONERS - THOSE SERVING SENTENCES OF LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE FOR MARIJUANA

 Life for Pot web site

Over 600,000 arrests per year are because of marijuana prohibition Cannabis Enterprises are a $20,000,000.000.00  dollar business and growing People serving sentences of life without parole for marijuana offenses need Presidential Clemency/sentencing relief 

This is why we need Clemency and Sentencing Reform 

 

War Metaphors have made the US the World’s Jailer

We Give Life Sentences to Nonviolent Drug Offenders

The Result of the War on Drugs

   1. Coarsened our Culture

   2. Increased the use of conspiracy charges

   3. Diluted our Sixth Amendment Right to Trial

   4. Increased the prison population by 734% since 1980   

   5. Increased the cost of incarceration by 2,000% since 1980

   6. Made us the World’s Jailer

Nonviolent drug offenders do not receive sentences of life without parole in any other developed country. 

This sentence is fiscally irresponsible, does not speak to mercy, compassion, does not fit the crime and is not just.

Conspiracy charges coupled with exercising your 6^th amendment right to trial results in a sentence many times higher than

Co-defendants. 

Conspiracy makes you responsible for the offenses of multitudes of people over all the years of the conspiracy.

There is no definitive evidence, only the testimony of:

1. Co-operating witnesses testifying for a plea,

2. Confidential informants testifying for money or a % of the forfeiture and

3. Agents

Jefferson Granted Clemency to violators of the Sedition Act

Madison Granted Clemency to the Lafitte Pirates after War of 1812

Lincoln Granted Clemency to Dakota Indians and Civil War Deserters

Hemp Is Finally Legal. Let’s See if It Can Save the World

David Bienenstock

December 12, 2018

In 1985, legendary cannabis activist Jack Herer published a magnum opus called The Emperor Wears No Clothes, which through painstaking research told the hidden history of hemp—a once-revered crop cultivated for more than 10,000 years that played a vital role in America’s economy from colonial times until the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 made growing it a federal crime.

TODAY’S CANNABIS BUSINESS PLAN

YESTERDAY’S MARIJUANA CONSPIRACY

Decriminalizing marijuana is an act that has support on both sides of the political spectrum. 

Two Executive Actions that can save up to $42 Billion a year that could be spent on infrastructure and prevent over 500,000 arrests annually

I. Executive Actions

    A. Group or Category Clemency – Amnesty for all nonviolent

         federal marijuana inmates who have served 5 years for

         a marijuana only offense

            1. Model this initiative on Gerald Ford’s Clemency
                initiative for those who

                violated the Selective Service Act

            2. Grant commutations by creating a board within the White
                House modeled on Gerald Ford’s clemency of selective 
                service violators.

     B. Remove marijuana from the Controlled Substance Act’s

          schedule and regulate it like alcohol

II. Desired Objective

    

      A. De scheduling marijuana may save up to $42 Billion

           dollars a year in enforcement, prosecution and incarceration

      B. Make billions of dollars available annually for infrastructure

III. Rational

      A. Over 29 states and the District of Columbia have

           legalized cannabis to some degree

       B. Over 70% if the population believes that marijuana should
            not be criminalized

       C. This is an item that has bi-partisan support

IV. The cannabis business is growing exponentially.  Like all

       successful business enterprises it is based on the knowledge

       and experience of past entrepreneurs 

V.   It has become increasingly incongruous to have Cannabis

       business plans being implemented for a product that has

       given others a sentence of life without parole

VI. Challenges to overcome – Those who are financially 
       dependent on maintaining

       this administrative designation of marijuana

      

       A. Public Employees Unions for law enforcement, correction
            officers, etc.

       B. Businesses with vendor contracts for prisons and law
            enforcement

       C. Pharmaceutical companies

       D. Lobbyists for businesses and non-profits with government
            contracts for

            re-entry and recovery

       E. Lobbyists for alcohol and spirits

Regulating marijuana like alcohol will save up to

$ 42 billion that can be used to rebuild our aging infrastructure and prevent over 550,000 arrests annually.
