    Are you shitting me that you think changing a word with an association most people have never even heard is more important than hundreds of thousands of people in this instance and others having their lives measurably improved? Having a criminal record can literally ruin someone’s life. It impacts the jobs they can get and where they can live. Pardoning them for some shit that never should’ve been a crime to start with is a huge deal.

    But for sure, tell all those people you’d pick changing the word for the drug over pardons. That’s a good call.
