WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Joe Biden on Thursday made history by pardoning anyone who had been federally charged for marijuana possession.

Biden made this announcement just one month out of the November election. During his announcement he urged state governors to follow the same process.
Because of this pardon around 6,500 prisoners will be released from federal prison.
If elected Texas Gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke has promised to do the same.

PermalinkI'm don't care if pot is legalized. I don't think its as dangerous as alcohol. However, the two in the photo above are only wanting to use it to get votes. I mean look at the timing of it. These same two would release rapists and pedifiles if they thought it would help their campaigns.

PermalinkAt this point they don't buy votes anymore they have absentee ballots. And honestly 6500 votes ain't much especially knowing that those stoners won't register.

PermalinkIt won't be for the 6500, it will be for the millions in favor of legalization.

PermalinkI "highly" doubt they will remove it from scheduling. Albeit if they do maybe we could actually pull our country out of debt from it.

PermalinkWe will never be out of debt, our government makes sure of that. That’s very obvious lol. Taxing weed isn’t going to do anything but take more money from consumers

PermalinkYou are probably right. Each release should be decided case by case but that isn't how the dems roll.

PermalinkWe were fairly young when we approached the stage of some of these old rock n roll bands. but one thing I always admire about Jeff, is he always walked up there like he owned the place.
I never had that kind of confidence, but it got us in to some real music going on. Lets see, I have seen Deep Purple, Ted Nugent, Led Zep, Rush, Tull, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, ZZ top, Styx, Stevie Ray , too many to remember.
that is why youngsters wonder how I am a music library

PermalinkI wonder if the photo of biden sniffing the pot plant is actually a crop of a photo where he is sniffing a little girl's hair? There are several of those photos to choose from.
