January 1, Biden Pardons Thousands of Criminals in Sweeping Executive Action
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
2001: U.S. invasion of Afghanistan starts with an air assault and covert operations on the ground.
President Joe Biden announced that he’s pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession.
“As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana,” Biden said Thursday.
The president outlined his plan in a series of tweets:
First: I’m pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. There are thousands of people who were previously convicted of simple possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My pardon will remove this burden. Second: I’m calling on governors to pardon simple state marijuana possession offenses. Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely for possessing marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either. Third: We classify marijuana at the same level as heroin – and more serious than fentanyl. It makes no sense. I’m asking [Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra] and the Attorney General to initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.
Biden noted that “as federal and state regulations change, we still need important limitations on trafficking, marketing, and underage sales of marijuana.”
“Sending people to jail for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives – for conduct that is legal in many states. That’s before you address the clear racial disparities around prosecution and conviction,” Biden said. “Today, we begin to right these wrongs.”

While many will view this a “great thing”; in reality this has the certain probability of curtailing civil freedoms.

I think this is the ONE & ONLY good thing BIDEN has EVER, or WILL ever have done! I don’t believe in incarceration for marijuana either! It’s a stupid law, win 3/4 of the country has legalized it in states but the federal government still does not! I am in agreement with this one, but Biden is still the worst president in American history!

I’m opposed to drug laws in principal, the war on drugs has always been a war on the American people, and a revenue scheme. How free are you if you can’t decide what to put into your body? I personally don’t do any drugs, and I recommend that other people not use drugs, but this is not being done as a blow against governmental over reach, and the nanny state…
No, this is simply a way for Dems to buy votes, and increase their base – any idiot can see this. Felons can’t vote – if you restore the rights of millions of felons then you have a new voting block that is beholding to the democrats. It is no accident that he did this just before the midterms.
And as always these frigging racists tie in the race angle… Kamala Harris has probably thrown more people in jail for smoking/possessing pot than any other prosecutor in the country – what a bunch of hypocrites.

What Harry Smooth said.
Truly sad the amount of folks who agree with ANY God given herb being criminalized for all just because of the misusers and abusers. They truly have less brains than the misusers and abusers.

I think maybe your the same DUMB F—S that CHUMP STOLE 250,000,000 dollers from who stood up and SCREAMED for that FAT F— NOT to pardon HIS CRIMINAL FRIENDS, well I’m gonna take a stab at that and say if you were that eager to hand over all that money then you were probably cheering the FAT P.O.S. to go ahead, and to top that off he knows you to STUPID to relise that all he REALLY does want is your MONEY and YOUR vote and HE get’s those none of you will really MATTER. So you made your DUMB F—ING COMMENTS now you can go back and STICK your STUPID F—ING HEADS back up his FAT ASS.
