Biden to Free Cannabis Prisoners! Huge

This has been the hang up with getting legalization bill passed in the Senate, and now it looks like Biden is going to do it! He also has the power to legalize cannabis according to recent report.

Biden Says He’s ‘Working On’ Fulfilling Marijuana Campaign Pledge To Free Prisoners.

President Joe Biden says his administration is “working on” plans to fulfill his campaign pledge to free people who are incarcerated for marijuana. This marks the first time that the president has publicly made a substantive comment about cannabis policy since taking office more than a year ago.

“I don’t think anyone should be in prison for the use of marijuana,” Biden said in response to a question from The New York Post’s Steven Nelson on Saturday night after stepping off Marine One on the White House lawn.

“We’re working on the crime bill now,” the president added —though it’s not clear what legislation he was referring to.

A report published by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) last year affirmed that the president has it within his power to grant mass pardons for cannabis offenses. It also said that the administration can move to federally legalize cannabis without waiting for lawmakers act.
