    Dude isn’t allowed to vote for legalization of marijuana, because he got caught possessing marijuana. Now I’m not sure how democracy is supposed to work, but I’m fairly certain he’s supposed to be able to vote for representatives in a Democratic Republic to legalize such.

      Just to clarify, he’s not able to vote because he’s a Canadian citizen and not because of his past convictions.

        Wait the guy has lived here since 3 years old on a green card and never became a full citizen somehow? The guy has 5 kids and has lived here legally for 43 years (assumably). The fact that he isn’t automatically naturalized is rediculous.
