cccjwh Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 President Joe Biden announced he would pardon people convicted of federal cannabis possession and called on governors to follow suit at the state-level, in one of the biggest shifts in federal cannabis policy in decades. Biden also announced on Thursday the federal government will finally start considering rescheduling marijuana under federal law; it is currently classified as a Schedule 1 drug on the Controlled Substances Act, the same as heroin. “As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana,” Biden said. “There are thousands of people who have prior Federal convictions for marijuana possession, who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result,” who will now receive pardons for weed possession, Biden said in a statement.

Part of a president's job is to keep the law abiding citizens safe. Or at least a little bit safer. Too bad he's turned his back on that these days.

For simple possession. There is no one incarcerated in the Federal Prison system for it. Just another failing play to get mid term votes, LMAO.

calfoxwc Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 on the dumb surface, some dems will go and vote for this alone. But, after all the plea bargains, it's rare or never to go to prison for simple possession, unless it was also a matter of possessing a lot of it to sell. whatever. I suppose they will want to give them the vote now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
