WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden announced Friday he's issuing a federal pardon to every American who has used marijuana in the past, including those who were never arrested or prosecuted.

The sweeping pardon applies to all U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in possession of marijuana for their personal use and those convicted of similar federal crimes. It also forgives pot users in the District of Columbia. It does not apply to individuals who have been jailed for selling the drug, which is illegal under federal law, or other marijuana offenses such as driving under the influence of an illegal substance.

The implication of Biden's pardon promises to have significant implications, as criminal records for marijuana use and possession have imposed barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. However, the pardons do not apply to people who violated state law, and anyone who wants to receive proof of a pardon will have to apply through the Department of Justice."

It is the right thing to do and one of the best things the president has done in office, I have never tried marijuana but have said all the time, if cigarettes are legal so should marijuana. Ruining a person's record with a criminal record over personal use of M seems ridiculous. Well done president Biden. This should give him a nice campaign talking point and a bump in his poll numbers.
