Big change in drug policy in America! Biden forgives thousands of convicts for possessing marijuana

Washington. There has been a big change in the policy of keeping drugs in America. US President Joe Biden has waived the sentence of thousands of people accused of possessing marijuana under federal laws, but this apology is only for those who got ordinary marijuana.

Biden said in his statement, “I am declaring the pardon for all prior federal offenses of simple possession of marijuana. I have directed to develop an administrative procedure for issuance of pardon certificates to all persons who come under the purview of Attorney General.” Notably, this order applies only to those convicted on federal charges of “simple marijuana possession,” he said. No one should be in federal prison just because of marijuana possession.”

Possessing marijuana is illegal under federal law. As a candidate, Biden stopped supporting the legalization of marijuana, but he has supported moving toward demonetisation. In his statement, he said, “Our failed approach to marijuana has disrupted the lives of many and the time has come for us to rectify these mistakes.
