“When Colorado legalized marijuana via its 2012 ballot initiative, it made no stipulation about the fate of those already convicted of marijuana crimes. If you were sitting in prison for selling pot, you’re still there. If you were ever convicted of a felony marijuana charge, it’s still on your record. The United States is one of only 22 countries that doesn’t guarantee what’s called ‘retroactive ameliorative relief’ in sentencing. This puts us in the company of such bastions of social justice as Pakistan, Oman and South Sudan. If Germany were to legalize marijuana, on the other hand, those convicted of weed crimes would see their sentences commuted, according to the USF report.”
