Biden Pardons Thousands Of Offenders As Part Of Action Plan To Reform Federal Marijuana Laws
The statement continued, “First: I’m pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. There are thousands of people who were previously convicted of simple possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My pardon will remove this burden.”
The president then called on local officials to do the same on a state level.
“Second: I’m calling on governors to pardon simple state marijuana possession offenses,” POTUS said. “Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely for possessing marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either.”
The president then criticized the classification of marijuana as it is compared to more deadly drugs.
“Third: We classify marijuana at the same level as heroin – and more serious than fentanyl. It makes no sense,” said the president. “I’m asking Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra and the Attorney General to initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.”
