All he can pardon is federal charges and convictions.

It's nothing but wants and don't wants. In time it will be legal nationwide inclusive of a fn Fed tax stamp.

he urged governors to do the same with state offenses.

This is a... gigantic deal? Just a completely enormous deal

Reclassification would have the same effect. Legalization is unlikely to happen with the current Senate.

The greatest injustice is that Philip Seymour Hoffman died before we had the chance to see him play Bannon on film

When does "simple marijuana possession" become a federal offense? When you try to smuggle ten pounds of the stuff into the U.S.? How about simple trespass?

now it's easier on the posessor - but that there devil's weed was off limits bigley. it's still a schedule 1 drug.

Better than nothing. Federal convictions on simple possession can knock you federal Jobs or Federally funded projects. This is not about helping Snoop or the big dogs, as they do not have to care about that crap. This is for Joe Schmuck, 9 to 5 guy who got caught with a dime bag of pot, while speeding in a national park on the weekend and at the same time does not affect or help dope dealers selling pot on the underground market.

It's not a federal power. Stop fucking the states over.

That has to be done by Congress.

This is a good move by Biden. A step forward.

That's what I was thinking. How many people actually have Federal convictions for "simple possession"?
