if marijuana is legalized...
i'm familiar with ex post facto laws, in that a person who committed a "crime" prior to the creation of a law against it can't be punished for it.
But i'm curious - if marijuana were to be legalized, would people convicted on grounds of possession/distribution/production be released/cleared/compensated? Or would they have to sit in jail while the rest of us are legally blazing it out here?
i guess the question underlying that one is whether or not there exists some sort of reverse-ex post facto law that can acquit people?notunpretentious Reviewed by notunpretentious on . if marijuana is legalized... i'm familiar with ex post facto laws, in that a person who committed a "crime" prior to the creation of a law against it can't be punished for it.
