Grateful Dead Fan Timothy Tyler Has Been Granted Clemency By President Barack Obama
After 22 years in prison, Grateful Dead fan Timothy Tyler has been shockingly granted clemency. The man, who was 25 at the time of his arrest and is now 47, was sentenced after continuously (and casually) selling LSD to a friend who had secretly been working with the DEA as an informant. Tyler may have made some mistakes, but getting sent to prison with a life sentence was far too much. Adding to this tragedy is that Tyler's father was also implicated in his sales--simply by Timothy living at his father's home and using his address in the packages he was sending and receiving. Tyler's father was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and died 8 years into his sentence.
This story is extremely sad, but now seems to be heading towards a happy ending. Tyler has been surprisingly been granted clemency by President Barack Obama after over 400,000 people signed a petition on Change.org asking grant him clemency. Now Tim can see his 70-year old mother, and he can see his beloved Grateful Dead (or something similar to it) once more. Kudos to President Obama for changing up the way America approaches clemency for non-violent offenders.

I can't understand how informants can live with themselves. A little cash, a little non guaranteed safety for ruining countless lives because they either have no morals or are just lazy broke scum bags.
This fucking shit makes me so upset. I wish people would realize we are all in this together can trying to control people because you can't control yourself is just pathetic.
Thank god the guy got clemency, but it's so sad his dad died.

I believe I signed that petition as a result of this story being posted here on the Shroomery. Don't know who the OP was, but I'm pretty sure Change.org got a bunch of signatures from that post.
Way to go!

Will be interesting in his final months when presidents release people who and how many will be for bullshit and unjust drug laws.
Listening to Trump's shit right now. Amazing how the massive issues used to be if you inhaled or not or were not faithful to your wife.
Deomocrats for a long time, the GOP has imploded.

Or if only drugs were legal and we weren't paying for someone to live for free over something they wouldn't have to do if the drug war ended.
