Am I missing something here? What the hell does Young Thug have to do with this article?

Nothing, OP is just saying this because of the timing right after his arrest.

He got some felony charges last week and one of them was for marijuana. It's a joke but them decriminalizing it isn't

which is really good for Thug.

Actually at this point it might not matter.

I know that a lot of "weed" offenders get released/charges dropped when legalization happens. However, if Thugger has federal charges it won't matter.

What's his status? I kinda forgot about all that

plus it's not legalized. just decriminalized.

doesnt that mean he would just get a fine though

Uhhhh, do you have any proof of people being released after legalization or decriminalization in America?

I'm not going to do oodles of research, but 15 seconds of googling gave me one example

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/09/washington-county-drops-marijuana-misdeanor-possession-cases-in-light-of-vote/

Here's one more. Not exactly the same scenario, but the changing of past felonies into simple misdemeanors is a huge deal

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/altered_state/2014/09/colorado_marijuana_convictions_now_that_weed_is_legal_what_happens_to_former.html


This is a situation that more and more states (those who have legalized) have come forward saying they're at least considering. As federal laws change, we'll see how prevalent it becomes. Pursuing convictions for marijuana is both time-consuming and costly. If they legalized the substance, they'd have to decide pursuing criminal charges (or continuing a "convicts" time served) is worth the cost of fighting them on something that isn't illegal now anyway.

if you think they won't try and pursue grandfathered charges then you crazy

there have already been multiple instances (linked below) of states doing what I said above. It's cool though.

I'm not saying it's a sure thing, but don't act like it's out of the question. Do you know how costly court cases are, or even prison sentences? All to prosecute/keep someone in prison for a now-legal charge?

The precedent has been set by Colorado and Washington, and it remains to see how other states might follow.

Take a young [man's] freedom over some dirt

Yet it's legal in Colorado

Yeah, we deny

Black entrepreneurs, free enterprise

That's why it's a black market, that's why it's called the trap

That's why it's called the projects 'cause it's exactly that

You all joke, but I honestly do hope Thugger faces the consequences of his actions. He simply cannot smoke marijuana when he has so many children looking up to him. My twelve year old son started developing a smoking addiction recently because of his antics! I really do hope his career goes to the shitter.

I hope your son tints his windows and starts living like a butterfly.
