Biden Pardons All Federal Offenses of Simple Marijuana Possession [VIDEO]

Sam Cook back in 1964 sang “It’s been a long, A long time coming, But I know a change gonna come, Oh, yes it will” and today yes it has.

President Joe Biden on Thursday pardoned all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, a move that senior administration officials said would affect thousands of Americans charged with that crime and he is asking states to do the same.

In an announcement Joe Biden had this to say:

“Sending people to prison for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives and incarcerated people for conduct that many states no longer prohibit,…Criminal records for marijuana possession have also imposed needless barriers to employment, housing and educational opportunities,”

This does not include traffickers or people selling marijuana to minors.
