Overview of the cannabis policy of the Joe Biden administration / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. President Joe Biden stated in February 2021 that his administration will pursue cannabis decriminalization as well as seek expungements for people with prior cannabis convictions.[1] It can still be found on his campaign website under sentencing reform.[2] As of October 2022, Biden pardoned thousands of people convicted of marijuana possession under federal law.[3] However, according to the Marshall Project, nobody was released from prison as a result of the October 2022 pardons, as no federal inmates were incarcerated for simple marijuana use at the time.[4]
