Biden pardons federal offenses for marijuana charges

[hog88]

Help me understand this. I read that he "pardoned" people for Marijuana, but I didn't see that he legalized it?

He didn't and in the end he won't, just like canceling college debt this will go to sh!t and won't get done but it's the thought that counts.

Also, how many people have federal convictions for simple possession?

It came with the sugar cane. It was Americas first crop as hemp. If anyone can do weed right, it's America.

I mean, if you want to give him credit for attempting to fix a problem he denied creating, ok.

Self reflection once Hunter decided he wanted remake the movie "Less Than Zero" as the real life Julian.

Yeah. We have seen what y’all consider progress.

So this pardon isn't progress or you just being a tool?

About 6500 have been so who knows how many this will help.

I figured you guys would be the first ones to say he doesn't have the power to legalize it.

So Kamala locked them up and Joe lets them go.

Coming from one of the framers of the Era of Mass Incarceration it's desperate.

Gross!

He doesn't at the state level but he can direct the HHS and DOJ to reclassify it. So he can make it legal at the federal level.

This is progress in the same way getting a 1st down in a game you are losing 112-0 is progress.

Don’t let me stop you from taking a victory lap bro. Not much to celebrate the last 20 months or so. If this gets you going, have at it.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

It's progress, and it's a huge shift. That means you no longer get arrested for simple cannabis possession. Think of the consequences of that act.

WTF are you talking about? This thread is about marijuana. You're bringing in the trans issue and the last 20 months of history and nobody knows why, except that you're a troll.

Well, he wants it to be left to each state. Like abortions but you won’t see libs losing their minds over this.

 

[utvolpj]

While I'm a fan of legalized marajuana...this is pandering at it finest...

Then everything done by a politician is pandering. Maybe the gop should have thought of it first

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

It's put a pause on simple cannabis possession (that is USUALLY under 3 ounces).

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

It will remain so until they reschedule it.

 

[n_huffhines]

This thread has me questioning whether or not people actually want Biden to do good things? Are you happier when it's ****** things and you get to complain?

Yes you can.

Lol, you need to go to Jamaica mon.

 

[Orangeburst]

I mean this is reversible until they codify it.
Wonder how private sector will look at it.

That's not what it means. I'm in favor of the move but your conclusion is wrong.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

uhhh, you are pardoned by the United States of America, President Biden until they review and reschedule it..
