We have numerous examples of criminals accused of exponentially more serious crimes being granted bail, the latest of which is a woman who stabbed her boyfriend to death.

Are you seriously trying to imply that an alleged pot dealer is more dangerous than an alleged murderess?
I didn't mention the alleged murderess, which doesn't appear to be a federal case.
I agree that being held without bail seems bad. He does not sound particularly innocent, though, failing to file tax returns, haggling prices on the phone, acting as a dealer, etc.
He's at a crossroads for me, from my viewpoint, marijuana should be legalized, but religions should not be allow non-profit status.
So, yes, they should legalize marijuana.
It should not be ok to sell it to finance your life by being a 'church', or whatver he is, and not pay taxes.
Yes, get angry about no bail, but I don't think he's a poster boy for why marijuana should be legalized.

Who alleged she's a murderess? She may have allegedly killed her boyfriend, but murder implies malice aforethought, while the victim's "lengthy criminal record and history of domestic violence" paints a different picture.
Let's not use terms that aren't justified by the facts, please.
Semantics aside, killing is definitely more dangerous than selling pot
Please, let's just stick to the heart of the matter here.
We see numerous instances where killers, rapists, child molesters, etc, are granted bail, so why not a mid level pot dealer?
The big banks get caught laundering billions of dollars in cartel drug money yet not one bank employee ever saw the inside of a federal detention center, much less held without bail for over 3 years!
