President Joe Biden to Pardon All Prior Federal Offenses for Simple Marijuana Possession * 6
    #27984629 - 10/06/22 01:04 PM (1 year, 3 months ago)

Quote:

WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden will pardon all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, the White House announced Thursday.

The pardons will also apply to anyone in the District of Columbia convicted of simple possession of marijuana, a senior administration official told reporters.




Story just broke, but that's fine news if I do say so myself! :tongue2::spliff:

I certainly won't be venturing outside anytime soon with all these violent criminals back on the street. Liberals are making this whole country go to pot!

Hehe, well, I'd have to imagine a lot of marijuana offenders are on the hook with state authorities more so than the Fed's, but it's a positive step in the right direction, nevertheless.  Asking for a review of the official scheduling of marijuana is awesome! Here's the official pub...

BRIEFING ROOM
Statement from President Biden on Marijuana Reform
OCTOBER 06, 2022 • STATEMENTS AND RELEASES

As I often said during my campaign for President, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.  Sending people to prison for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit. Criminal records for marijuana possession have also imposed needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities.  And while white and Black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people have been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted at disproportionate rates.

Today, I am announcing three steps that I am taking to end this failed approach.

First, I am announcing a pardon of all prior Federal offenses of simple possession of marijuana.  I have directed the Attorney General to develop an administrative process for the issuance of certificates of pardon to eligible individuals.  There are thousands of people who have prior Federal convictions for marijuana possession, who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result.  My action will help relieve the collateral consequences arising from these convictions.

Second, I am urging all Governors to do the same with regard to state offenses.  Just as no one should be in a Federal prison solely due to the possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either.

Third, I am asking the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General to initiate the administrative process to review expeditiously how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.  Federal law currently classifies marijuana in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the classification meant for the most dangerous substances.  This is the same schedule as for heroin and LSD, and even higher than the classification of fentanyl and methamphetamine – the drugs that are driving our overdose epidemic.

Finally, even as federal and state regulation of marijuana changes, important limitations on trafficking, marketing, and under-age sales should stay in place.

Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana.  It’s time that we right these wrongs.

Nice :thumbup:

Does this not affect those incarcerated for a current offense?

Going from statistics in 2017 - 92 people were incarcerated for cannabis possession - I also wonder if most federal posession crimes also come with charges of intent to distribute etc that nullify this?

Anyway - even if its mostly gestural it is a good one

Nobody is currently incarcerated for possession in the federal system. There are people on probation.

If weed is made legal then people might stop abusing Benadryl, Benadryl sales will go down and then the hat man will become lonely.

I'm still confused on the definition of a Federal crime. What does this mean for states that are pursuing charges on a state level, states that still have prohibition. Does this apply to all Americans with marijuana possession charges or just some?

This applies to people convicted by the federal government or in the District of Columbia (The federal government prosecutes local crimes in DC)

We'll I hope that this move has influence at a state level and hopefully this is the beginning of the end of marijuana prohibition
