Some Colorado Marijuana Arrestees Might be Able to Overturn Their Convictions
http://fusion.net/Culture/video/overturning-colorado-marijuana-convictions-536921
Two months ago on The Cannabusiness Report, we did a segment about the fact that even though marijuana is legal in Colorado, there are still thousands of inmates serving time for weed convictions. But it looks like that's about to change. As a result of a recent Colorado Court of Appeals ruling, as many as 10,000 marijuana convictions could now potentially be overturned. In this segment, we discuss the situation with social justice journalist Matt Fleischer, as well as Patrick Mulligan, an attorney from Denver who is working to overturn marijuana convictions.

Weed sellers were targeted for for their property that could be seized, loot for lack of a better term. Local police took everything these people owned for the few dollars dealers made. Often times people sold weed simply to provide for their own consumption only to have their cars, houses and bank accounts drained. It went on everywhere, it is evil what the cops are doing and continue to do. This makes the cops were more of a criminal than the small-time dealers. The punishment far out-wieghts the crime. I am less in favor of legalization, but if that's what it takes to stop the criminal seizure of property, than legalize it, legalize it all.
