Biden Pardoned Thousands for Possession of Cannabis

Joe Biden said "No one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana," which marks a new direction for the United States to recognize the war on cannabis has been ruining people's lives, impacting people's ability to find legal work. People who consume cannabis are not criminals. Biden called on state governors to do the same. Biden said "Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana," the pardons won't effect people who sold or produced cannabis. This should have happened a long time ago, it's about time something is being done to change the failed direction. arack Obama admitted the war on drugs was an "utter failure" all the way back in 2004.

Marijuana is actually classified as a Schedule I drug as if it has no medical value, alongside heroin and LSD, Biden has officials reviewing how cannabis is scheduled. The U.S. government owns Patent 6630507 Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants, and similar patents showing medical value for decades.
