President Joe Biden's Statement on Marijuana Reform

President Biden released a statement to the public strongly encouraging for Marijuana Reform. Something I strongly believe in, how can you not make this legal.

There are many properties that mary-jane can do for us. Why have a record that will have the citizens in Jail? This is all the President is trying to share with everyone.

A Statement was released by the president on October 6, 2022.

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.

Finally, even as federal and state regulation of marijuana changes, important limitations on trafficking, marketing, and under-age sales should stay in place.

Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana. It’s time that we right these wrongs.

So maybe things can possibly change for us and people don't have to hide. However, there should be changes as far as drinking, and smoking. If you can enlist into the army at the age of eighteen you should be able to drink and smoke at this age too.

Maybe the hope of things changing for this could be possible.

Mary Jane can change for people who have anxiety, or have trouble with their appetites.

If you just want to have fun and experiment then you can.

I understand these facts, but here is what I think.

If they legalize Mary Jane I think this will happen:

1: Start taxing so the government can gain something out of it: I think this will happen, I also think if you legalize the substance the government will have a close eye on the dealers.

2: Maybe the former inmates will receive a legal pardon: I hope this will happen so they can have half way descend jobs.
