"President Joe Biden is taking his first major steps toward decriminalizing marijuana, fulfilling a campaign pledge to erase prior federal possession convictions and beginning the process of potentially loosening federal classification of the drug.
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."
A good thing that will help thousands.
@metal-brain saidProbably not smuggling or farming it illegally.
@Zahlanzi
Define "simple".
Possession for personal use I expect he means you shouldn’t be in jail or have your life ruined because you choose marijuana over tobacco or alcohol as your recreational drug of choice.

@zahlanzi saidAnd, he is helping debtors with paying off their loans. They are still debtors, in my eyes. I would, from here on, ask a job applicant if their loan had been paid off, and if so, would have security usher them from the building. I figure they would be more likely to have danger in their pockets than a person who has paid off their loan.

@zahlanzi saidGoogle this, druggie guy. Biden is so nice to make life better for you druggies, but tell us.........................
how about you google it?
109,000 have died here in 9 months from Fentanyl. It is tied to our border policy so, to keep his political life safe, Biden lets people die of it. He does not a dam thing.
But helping the druggies. I always wanted to fire someone for doing marijauna.

@zahlanzi saidThe biggest consequence of this action will be the increase in the prevalence of jam bands. I know, this seems innocuous but have you ever listened to a 27 minute-long version of a song about a rock skipping across a pond?

@kevcvs57 saidI had 12 pounds. Is that simple possession?
Probably not smuggling or farming it illegally.

@zahlanzi saidHow about the weed revolution in Thailand. Thousands released overnight. Anyone that's traveled there would remember the "Death to drug traffickers' signs.

N ow you can see a doc with the Minister of Health flying around Thailand in his private jet giving out free samples.
It's all about the tourist dollar and they're capitalising on the still staunch approach of Thailands neighbors.
Bring it on.
Edit: BTW how's the hypocrisy kamala locking up the brothers for marijuana offences, nothing new from the left.

@wildgrass saidI would probably love it. This music is underestimated.

@AverageJoe1
When are you going to start a Soundcloud account so you can prove you are a much greater musician than I am?
