    If he has a license to sell, then he shouldn’t be in jail.

    Ban alcohol and watch the pigs cry to let both be legal. Take away the law enforcements only way to get a buzz and watch them squirm. It is not fair for cops to be able to get drunk and act ridiculous but marijuana is illegal.

    Let him go, lock πŸ”Trump up. It’s said in western society were you can be jailed for having position of possible medicine for people but the corrupt politician who make these laws and won’t fix or right there wrong actual criminals in government power like Rick Snyder who still hasn’t provided Flint Michigan with healthy drinking water still serve in higher political power shame Detroit, shame America, shame to this whole drug war for demonizing marijuana. I know people who actually use this stuff on a day to day basis as the medical treatment for whatever illness there going thru and the Detroit Police Department believes this shit harms people still shame on you. I’m living proof it doesn’t inhabit your life as much as people think.

    We get no weed they get no beer!!!!!!!! Then we will see alcohol companies and beer companies back marijuana because it is unfair that a dangerous " poison " can be bottled and canned for public distribution but natural growing marijuana can’t.
