"Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana," Biden said in a video announcement. "It’s time that we right these wrongs."
Biden is also asking the departments of Justice, and Health and Human Services to review how marijuana should be scheduled under federal law.

Just legalize it.
Then they can’t run on legalizing it.
“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?”💯🤣
How about them revolutionary era airports hypicrite? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whaaaaaah tRump lost. 😭
I mean, good, but empty gesture if they aren’t going to legalize it federally and I’ve seen no indication they’re doing that. Cynically, this is very convenient timing right after the Saudi decision which is going to spike gas prices again right before midterms.
I think that he is definitely in the move right now to federally decriminalized, because think about it if he is pardoning, going to jail/prison for marijuana for personal use then that means that he is going to decriminalize it more than likely right before midterms in a couple of weeks. This is just one of the first steps I wouldn’t be surprised if by next week he will make an announcement that marijuana will be fully decriminalized, unless you are ntransporting it to another country or selling it to under age children.
He can’t legalize without congress, do you really think the GOP are gonna vote for a marijuana legalization bill? I’m sure there are even some Democrats who would vote against it. Its been proposed multiple times by congressmen but it never passes.
That’d take months to get through Congress
My greatest happiness is the $64,000 bi-weekly profit I get consistently from my $15,000 investment.
the cartel will just focus on harder drugs like cocaine, heroin and Fentanyl. So you would rather them sell more coke, heroin and Fentanyl? Legalizing pot will do it. Pot is also a gateway drug for harder drugs. Well, legalizing pot gets more votes than a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Why? When all people need is weed?
-ask your son..he really knows all about drugs
Bout time!
He made the law his 93 crime bill genius
The guy who caused the problem for decades in fixing it. What a scam
Awesome job thanks Mr. President
Hey genius he was the one that made that law with his 93 crime bill 😂
@Muff Diver well if that’s true I’m glad he was able to become president and correct that decision. That takes real humility
Former Vice President Joe Biden defended his support decades ago for a controversial crime bill, saying in a speech in South Carolina, “There’s another part of my long record that’s being grossly misrepresented: the 1994 crime bill.”
@Muff Diver yea I saw that
Thank you Biden! Or for you invalids out there Thank you “Brandon”
Hey genius he made that law with his 93 crime bill 😂
China 🇨🇳 now offers PhD programs in the following subjects:
– Advanced chemistry in Fentanyl,
– Advanced surgery for organ harvesting,
– Trade manipulation,
– IP thefts in a nutshell, and
– assimilate and denial concentration…
Australia cant even legalise it in one state. Time to help us move forward considering we followed you into prohibition!
The first time a President has ever said those words! Awesome! 👍 Give him four more years!
@Muff Diver
At least he learned from his mistakes.
@Dagger Deep like the laptop why u think we are paying out the arse wtf
@Dagger Deep after 30 years of millions being locked up say that to them
@Muff Diver
Don’t be negative, we’re making progress.
This is so funny he was the one that made this law his 93 crime bill 😂
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank God, it’s about time they did this. I’m a pretty conservative guy and I support the decision 110%.
Just legalize it already. 3 beers is more potent than pot
Don’t get your hopes up. Only the tiny minority of weed charges are prosecuted federally.
