So the treasury secretary who is employed by the federal government can use weed but I can't because I drive a truck? And the job I'm trying to get also can't because, get this, I'll be employed by THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

I was just thinking of an article I read within the last few weeks of a guy who is in jail for 40 years, which is basically a life sentence at his age, and denied parole for growing like 5 plants.

It's obvious government workers can't see why telling the public this can be pretty insensitive to the tons of people who have or had very serious consequences for doing the same thing.
