I don’t care that he got pardoned because I agree with the notion that if one is going to buy drugs, his way was safer. But what about all the simple large dealers who got 30 and 40 years? He made more than all of them. Major marijuana dealers got far more time than he did. All kinds of peripheral people got far more time than he ended up getting.

If you fashion yourself tough on crime and law and order, think drug offenders should get long sentences, then this is a problem going forward if you care at all about hypocrisy .

Not saying you. I have no idea where you fall on drug sentencing.
