Tyson, Currently Incarcerated in Virginia for Marijuana

In this week's podcast episode, we speak with Tyson, an individual currently incarcerated in Virginia for a marijuana-related offense. While marijuana is currently legal in Virginia, Tyson's case highlights the complexities and disparities within the justice system when it comes to marijuana possession.   Tyson's story sheds light on the ongoing debate surrounding marijuana legalization and the implications for individuals who are still serving sentences for non-violent drug offenses. With legalization becoming more widespread, it is important to understand the experiences and perspectives of those who were previously incarcerated for marijuana-related crimes.
