RT @BruceBarcott: We ran this profile last month @Leafly. Last week Michael Thompson, 69, was hospitalized w/COVID. He’s serving 60 yrs in prison for a marijuana sale 25 yrs ago. Michigan @GovWhitmer can free him before he dies. Her contacts are @ the end of this article. https://t.co/AxPEezkcA8

If cannabis is legal, why is Michael Thompson serving 40 years in prison?

The Michigan man, 69, sold three pounds of weed in 1994. It's time for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to set him free.
