It's bad because there are people that have been sitting in prison that could have been released over a year and a half ago, but Biden would rather let them rot for a while longer just so he could score political points at a more convenient time.

- whoooooo123 4y agoFrom a legal point of view, when is marijuana possession a federal offence and when is it a state offence? Presumably if you're caught with weed in DC then it's federal.

- forgetfreeman 4y agoShit's illegal and people are mad. Dude tries to cut some folks a break and people are mad. Conclusion: some people are born mad and gonna stay that way regardless.
- encryptluks2 4y agoHm.. can you imagine homosexuality being banned and people being mad just cause they pardon only a certain type before elections?

- innocentoldguy 4y agoWho got a break in this deal exactly? There isn't anybody in federal prison for simple possession charges. It's like him giving every man, woman, and child in Antarctica a pony, only not as efficacious.
- forgetfreeman 4y agoYeah he totally should have issued state-level pardons for possession. What in the hell is wrong with this guy...
