BREAKING: President Joe Biden is pardoning people convicted of marijuana possession offenses and initiating a process to federally reschedule cannabis—just weeks before Election Day. marijuanamoment.net/biden-announce…
UPDATED: Here's Biden's official proclamation granting "a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to" people "who committed the offense of simple possession of marijuana in violation of the Controlled Substances Act." marijuanamoment.net/biden-announce…
ALSO: The Justice Department says it will "expeditiously administer" President Joe Biden's proclamation to pardon people for marijuana possession & the HHS secretary is "looking forward" to working on the separate cannabis scheduling review he's directed. marijuanamoment.net/doj-to-expedit…
@tomangell Uh-Oh: if it's merely REscheduled then FDA will put immediate kibosh on everyone
@tomangell This is political theater. Simple Marijuana Possession is a federal misdemeanor and most nonviolent Federal cannabis cases are felonies. He could have included Possession with Intent & offered paths to expungement. #BareMinimum #CrumbsFromTheTable #marijuanapardons
@tomangell Dank Brandon strikes! Deschedule next step! Now leverage DOJ grants to pressure state Governors to do the same
