There's something really disturbing about this given the fact that people are still rotting in jail in this country for selling a dime bag in the 90's. The time for federal prohibition to come to an end is far overdue.
I'm going to quibble about your word choice. There is something disturbing about the fact that people are still rotting in jail, not that Ease raised money.
Those people should not be in jail, and eaze is doing well to raise money. The former does not make the latter disturbing.
I don't see how a company whose existence works to normalize the use of marijuana is a priority unaligned with that of decriminalizing and clemency for those incarcerated for posession.
Is that exaggerated or do you really have confirmation of somebody serving time in prison for minor pot dealings? I would be willing to be most serving time in prisons for pot were moving quite a bit of product, which would still be illegal even in legalized pot states today.
There are many cases of extended time served for small personal amounts of marijuana. Especially after "tough on crime" effort and 3-strikes laws that permeated throughout the country starting in the 90s. Obama vacated many federal sentences before his term ended, but that didn't cover prisoners in state and county prisons.
Plenty of press and articles around this over the past few years.
Didn't Google invent a search engine? People are still being incarcerated for long periods of time for minor marijuana offenses (well under a pound). This isn't news.
Those people should not be in jail, and eaze is doing well to raise money. The former does not make the latter disturbing.
