She went and told our boss tryna get me fired but he didn’t give a fukk cause we were in Washington State:mjlol:


Dumb bytch (excuse my language:hubie:) go deal with them 4 violent assault charges on your record that will never go away. And tell everyone why they silently told you to pack your shyt and leave a week later since you felt so comfortable spreading MY business around fukk you

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 a pardon will have to apply for clemency through the Department of Justice.

He issued a similar pardon last year and promised future reforms. This year's proclamation went further in that it forgave all instances of simple marijuana use or possession under federal law, including for individuals who have never been charged.

In a statement, Biden said Americans should not be sent to prison solely for using or possessing marijuana. He urged governors to forgive state offenses.

"Criminal records for marijuana use and possession have imposed needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana. It’s time that we right these wrongs," Biden said.

Biden also commuted the sentences of 11 people he said are "serving disproportionately long sentences for non-violent drug offenses" and would have received lesser sentences if they were charged today.

Tangibles? :mjgrin:

Despite y'all's attempts to diminish this, that's still huge.

Fed charges for MJ possession has been one of the longest-running injustices within the US criminal justice system.

Why not just decriminalize it federally instead of tiptoeing around in an effort to win over voters? :unimpressed:

More legal red tape, and would have to get all of congress on board. This is something within Biden's powers as the chief executive that he doesn't need congressional support for.

It's chess not checkers :ufdup:
