Federal Cannabis News October 2022
President Joe #Biden has pardoned people convicted of #marijuana possession by the federal government, as part of a broader executive order directing his administration to review the way that the drug is classified and regulated. This move is seen as a positive step by those who believe that such convictions are a shameful legacy of the war on drugs, and that they are out of step with a growing majority of Americans who now support legalization. This is a welcome development for those who have been unfairly impacted by our nation’s harsh and outdated drug laws.The President announced Thursday, “No one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana,” he stated in a clip shared to Twitter.This is great news for those who have been convicted of simple federal cannabis offenses. The #pardon will clear their record and allow them to move on with their lives.There are still some hurdles to clear before this can be fully implemented, but it’s a step in the right direction. Hopefully, this will lead to more states legalizing cannabis and the federal government finally catching up.Debate over the legalization of cannabis has been raging for decades, with proponents arguing that the plant should be descheduled and made available for medical and adult use.

Biden to pardon all federal offenses of simple marijuana possession
As I often said during my campaign for President, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. 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. And while white and Black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people have been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted at disproportionate rates.Today, I am announcing three steps that I am taking to end this failed approach.First, I am announcing a pardon of all prior Federal offenses of simple possession of #marijuana. I have directed the Attorney General to develop an administrative process for the issuance of certificates of pardon to eligible individuals. There are thousands of people who have prior #Federal #convictions for marijuana possession, who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My action will help relieve the collateral consequences arising from these convictions.Second, I am urging all Governors to do the same with regard to state offenses. Just as no one should be in a Federal prison solely due to the possession of marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either.Third, I am asking the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General to initiate the administrative process to review expeditiously how marijuana is scheduled under federal law. Federal law currently classifies marijuana in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the classification meant for the most dangerous substances. This is the same schedule as for heroin and LSD, and even higher than the classification of fentanyl and methamphetamine – the drugs that are driving our overdose epidemic.
