      Biden already pardoned people convicted for simple possession of marijuana back in Oct 2022.

      And in December 2023, expanded that for the offenses of simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana, regardless of whether they had been charged with or prosecuted for the offenses on or before that date.

          How would you know if anyone kept it up? You didn’t follow it the first time and just wanted to be outraged.

            Jesus christ maybe give them some credit for acknowledging they didn’t know? It’s not the like news was too keen on stories highlighting the positive notes of his administration.
