The statute of limitations for many crimes exceed the term of any executive, so this is quite risky to rely on. You could just be prosecuted by the next guy for crimes done under the previous guy.

- ty6853 2y agoAbsolutely true but it's worth noting this has only been done for a small fraction of marijuana crimes, and as far as I know not at all through the backdoor method commonly used (by all administrations) where they just prosecute otherwise legal gun ownership as "owned a gun plus owned weed" and backdoor it as a gun crime.
