You'd have to be living under a rock to not know about what's happening in Colorado - it's marijuana mayhem! Weed has finally become legal for retail sale in that state, and more might follow. And yet, there are still hundreds of marijuana convicts sitting in jail. We talk to social justice journalist Matt Fleischer about America's policy of not guaranteeing "retroactive ameliorative relief," or letting marijuana convicts out of prison after the law changes.

After they have restituted all of their victims I'm sure they will have a clean conscience.

Legal pot just means that they will go after the untaxed pot dealers.

Here I am in Colorado again and of course there is lots of pot talk. It is crazy to think that when I drive by a jail there it is still full of drug convicts.
