Is this huge or just a pathetic, limp PR stunt by the Biden White House for the upcoming elections?

I give you +1000 odds that it’s a lame PR stunt without looking into it…I feel like something similar happened a few years ago and it was some BS too.
A simple possession charge is jamming very few people up especially nowadays. I’m sure people will argue “it helps them get jobs” “if it even helps ONE person…”.

If they really care, why not pardon people with any NON VIOLENT cannabis charges? Because then the money would stop rolling in, and the show must go on.

Isn't that what they are doing, all simple possession charges are being pardoned. Idk nothing about us law but wouldn't this help out people that have possession charge hanging over their head who are looking for a job, housing etc?

Quote:
I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., do hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all current United States citizens and lawful permanent residents who, on or before the date of this proclamation, committed or were convicted of the offense of simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana, regardless of whether they have been charged with or prosecuted for these offenses on or before the date of this proclamation
don't disrespect that whether you like or don't like this president.
It's a very big deal.
A large number of people will be positively affected.
Another finger has been slipped into the tight hole of prohibitionism towards legalization.
It's a big deal.

How is anybody mad about this? Like seriously? You'd have to be pretty backwards to be mad about less punishment for weed.

Quote:
In Proclamation 10467 of October 6, 2022 (Granting Pardon for the Offense of Simple Possession of Marijuana), I exercised my authority under the Constitution to pardon individuals who committed or were convicted of the offense of simple possession of marijuana in violation of the Controlled Substances Act and [...] (D.C. Code). As I have said before, convictions for simple possession of marijuana have imposed needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. Through this proclamation, consistent with the grant of Proclamation 10467, I am pardoning additional individuals who may continue to experience the unnecessary collateral consequences of a conviction for simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana.
They are also in the process (awaiting DEA approval which will likely come) of rescheduling to Schedule 3.
Unfortunately the president does not have the power to force state governments to change their laws or pardon people in those systems.

I wouldn't lump the whole Pub into being angry, I just see one user so far who seems angry about it.

So no more bullshit car checks with the excuse the pigs smelled weed or could they still use that excuse as a doi? Again Idk shit about American law but this could change a lot for future arrests and raids. People getting rid of charges is great and all but if it can still be used as an excuse for illegal raids then nothing much has changed.

I think the motivation is financial.
petty pot crime is very costly to society. Tax dollars, police and court hours, failed careers.
Weed illegalization is hugely costly to society and - its just smoking flowers of a plant.
Because the government is going down the drain, persecuting pot is a far right hobby they can no longer afford.

Yeah this effects very few people. If you got caught in DC or in a national park, this is for you. There are currently zero federal inmates in prison for possession.
