Wish we could get this over with and just legalize it. The attitudes with it have changed. The majority want it treated like alcohol.
Things that should have been done day one of things that never should have happened.
I agree it never should have happened but unfortunately that’s the nature of fixing the mistakes of the past
There the Democrats go again not doing anything!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is pardoning thousands of people who were convicted of use and simple possession of marijuana on federal lands and in the District of Columbia, the White House said Friday, in his latest round of executive clemencies meant to rectify racial disparities in the justice system.
Biden is also granting clemency to 11 people serving what the White House called “disproportionately long” sentences for nonviolent drug offenses.
Biden said his actions would help make the “promise of equal justice a reality.”
“Criminal records for marijuana use and possession have imposed needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities,” Biden said.
The White House said thousands more would be eligible under Friday’s action.
Biden reiterated his call on governors and local leaders to take similar steps to erase marijuana convictions.
The original article contains 220 words, the summary contains 134 words. Saved 39%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Biden, the president doing a good thing.
