Criminal records may follow you but "extra" punishment above and beyond the prison sentence is up to the states (I think). No one is arguing that we should throw away criminal records, so we can put that straw man aside.
If anyone here thinks that an ounce of weed should equal a lifetime punishment than I have to respectfully disagree with them. Thankfully, it seems that the majority of the states aren't quite so draconian in viewpoint.
