I'm happy to see anybody unburdened by the US legal system, but there's something underwhelming about the most powerful politician in the country only now deigning to use his executive power.
People are cheering and memeing in unsurprising 
fashion and I'm like bruh, he could have done this and more. Years ago. And they're talking about the necessity of voting and how bad trump would be. Like where do you think Brandon was when drafting the anti marijuana bills?
That said, I don't want to come across as unreasonable when good things happen. If a lib approached me and shared this news, what would be an appropriate response?
Link because I got that bird box disease where I want to make people to see the thing.
Last time this happened or whatever it was looked into and it amounted to actually not helping out a single person. Literally not one person would leave prison due to that pardon because nobody had been convicted on possession or use alone. There were always other charges. It might assist some people in their classification, though. If you don't know what classification is for prisoners then that's a ranking system in which charges and behaviors while incarceration determine what level of security you are required. So if you have certain charges they might amount up to, let's make up some numbers, 34 points whereas you need to be below 30 points to be considered "low security".
