Scott Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 President Joe Biden is taking his first major steps toward decriminalizing marijuana, fulfilling a campaign pledge to erase prior federal possession convictions and beginning the process of potentially loosening federal classification of the drug. Biden on Thursday pardoned all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, a move that senior administration officials said would affect thousands of Americans charged with that crime. The announcement comes a month ahead of critical November elections that will determine control of Congress. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/06/politics/marijuana-decriminalization-white-house-joe-biden/index.html 1
KhunLA Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Definitely the correct thing to do, for simple possession or use. Though I suspect gaining future tax revenues may be more of a motive. If thinking like a politician, and just in time for mid-terms. 1
Chomper Higgot Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Excellent News. Well done President Biden. 1
