MSgt Steve Sweeney it's legal in many States now. I thought it would be legal within 10 years after returning from Vietnam.

Many states have decriminalized, but there was always the federal sword of Damocles hanging over the issue. Hopefully this puts it right.

I have been voting for legalization since 1964. Perhaps it may finally happen.

This will create quite a influx of those being released.

Perhaps, and they may need some time to get back on their feet. Still, that should not be an impediment to doing the right thing. Maybe it will take the United States, that vaunted land of the free, out of the top spot of countries that incarcerate their own people.

No one is being released. From the article:
"While no one is currently serving time in federal prison solely for the crime of simple marijuana possession, officials said, about 6,500 people have such convictions on their records. Those convictions would be pardoned, and the offenders’ records cleared"
