> Often, he said, people who are arrested for marijuana possession also receive a related charge for paraphernalia — pipes or rolling papers, for example. That additional charge would have disqualified them from the project.

This is exactly why you should put the weed directly on your tongue and then rub two sticks together to light it.

I served 2 years on a two stick rap. I would suggest using a magnifying glass to ignite your tongue-weed.

They'd still call it paraphernalia, like when a screw driver is considered a burglar's tool when stealing car.

Makes the entire program useless then. 99% of the time you’re not ONLY getting charged with possession

I don't understand who set that rule... it says the governor cannot unilaterally issue pardons, but I thought the pardon power was fairly broad and unilateral?

And also, I thought this was interesting, too:

>But, Goldstein added, that narrowness in scope is the nature of executive pardons, whether they are gubernatorial or presidential. President Joe Biden’s marijuana pardon proclamation from October, for example, is similarly narrow, and only clears the records of people who were convicted of simple possession of marijuana under federal law from 1992 through 2021. That move affected about 6,500 people...

Anyone really believe the legislature would word the legislation to allow many to be eligible? Plus, they would never allow Wolf to have something that actually does something. Frankly, the wording would have been such that things like possessing rolling papers or matches or bongs or pipes would not disqualify someone from being eligible for the pardon.

It really is and honestly, a pack of Zig-Zag papers shouldn't carry any penalty whatsoever. It's just f'ing paper.

Not sure how readily available they are now, but when I was younger, you could just walk into any Giant Eagle grocery store or Rite Aid drug store and buy a pack. It's not like you were walking around with a 4-foot bong in your pocket.
