If President Biden banned the usage of marijuna the whole country will in chaotic.. people will go berserk, burning cars, ransacking malls, gun shooting all across the country. In US if the government did passed a law, allowing the citizen to have more rights and freedom… no way the government can reverse the law … no way.
please step back, desperate vote reaching in progress
Loosen federal rules?
This means absolutely nothing. Until you make marijuana legal at the federal level, I will not take you seriously. You will not get my vote until it's fully legal.
Midterm politics
As a result of this decision by poo poo pants, exactly no one will be effected by this pardon.
As a result, nobody is getting released from jail because of the pardons. There isn’t anyone currently in federal prison solely for simple possession, White House officials said.
There are about only one thousand people in jail in America on Federal drug charges it's just not done federally it's usually at the state level
nobody's getting out of prison as a result of this look it up the media and the government lies to you and they depend on your ignorance and lack of caring.
Adds a new meaning to “higher” office
What timing, right before the midterms. He is desperate.
CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA ON IT ENDING THE WAR ON DRUGS AND ENDING RACISM
Not enough and still long overdue
Only one problem, the Feds don't put people in jail for possession of a Marijuana cigarette. Who ever is in jail now are much worse offenders of Marijuana possession in much higher quantities.
HAHAHA! this is a joke. No one is in prison for simple marijuana possession.
Another way to buy votes from the ignorant! FACTS: IF DEMOCRATS WANT TO LEGALIZE CANNABIS THEY CAN RIGHT NOW AS THEY HAVE THE POWER! WHY HAVEN"T THEY? Because they want to continue to keep this political to and pitch the minority oppression BS.
My god…the old man has actually done something to unite America…wow..all serious…sincerely…atleast he's took a step finally
Thank u my president
This is a terrible decision on his part and is only an effort to provide more votes in a bad election cycle for the democrats. First , what does it tell you when a man/ party panders to those who have broken laws based on the long standing values of your country whether changing now or not. Two these “simple” drug use convictions were mostly derived from court plea deals to lessen the sentences that they otherwise would have gotten for distribution. In other words they are selling not just marijuana to our kids but fentanyl laced stronger versions of the same. He is expunging their records so that they can vote and I dare say 100% will vote for them. This is 100% dastardly and more rigging of an election. Cheating? No. Rigging definitely. Same thing as throwing free money at college kids. Tax moneys of every kind just to buy votes. Where is our integrity?
Now is a simple marijuana possession when 35 years ago was a drug that move mafias and justified US countries interventions. Now that USA cultivate there and create an industry is accepted……old story….
Nobody who been to federal prison has ever done time for simple possession. Feds don’t even take those cases.
I say if this do get pardon, then he would need to give all the parents their children back due to using marijuana. This country is doomed
Unfortunate part about you know most of your lives have already been destroyed by the felony charge and his policy while he was a senator put you there.
It’s a miracle
Who's dumb enough to fall for this?!!?
He'll get pushback on this from privately operated prisons. They need all those slaves to work and bring in millions from corporate America! 🙄🙄

If trafficking means individual sales by grower of 1 lb or less, I think that definition should be changed!! That amount could trace source for detrimental civil cases too. Middlemen should only be allowed by insured warranties. So without this glossary distinguishment, Biden looks like a Trump Criminal Organization Sin Slave Factory..
Bro, you've just gotten us another step closer to World War 3, and THIS is what you're worried about?? God help us all.
Interesting, because his crime laws in the 90's put them in prison. His vice president cackle laughed about putting people in prison when she was AG in California. This only effects about 100 people.
how can you be in a federal prison if you only Possession?

Yes remember everyone weed cures all diseases, will solve world hunger and will bring world peace everywhere and will basically fix every issue humanity has ever faced. And if you don’t 1000% agree you’re a racist sexist homophobic nazi who’s worse than Hitler 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Did the news reporter just say "go up in smoke…" lol
Good job Biden but I do wonder if he knew what he was signing and what Kamala has to say about this. That was probably a bit obnoxious from me to write but yea. Also I don't think you need to involve race in the decission I think that's a weak political stunt.
EIther way good one.
I always hated biden until this very moment I love this mf now
I may have misjudged Biden all these years. His administration has been very impressive. Not because of this, but including it with every thing else. It's a real shame it took Trump to get Biden elected.
